I wish teens would just do this instead of hassling me at the entrance of the supermarket

I'm off to Aldi tomorrow, and if I spot any other blokes buying trolleyfuls of cloudy apple juice I'm just gonna say "Rainford's Brew Lab?" and watch their reaction 😂👍

Many years ago I was in Saudi Arabia , desperately in need of a drink, so got hold of about 18 litre cartons of Apple Juice, poured the lot in a 20 Litre commercial water dispenser bottle, then added 2kg sugar and 5 sachets of yeast and sealed the top with a sterile permeable dressing pad. I had no idea what the Alcohol level was but 3 weeks later we celebrated Burns Night as it was meant to be …! ( To hide the fermenting Apple Smell we kept very ripe apples in a bowl to explain/disguise the illicit brew).

I'm so happy to discover your channel! I've started brewing some of your recipies myself, and as someone who is a beginner, you make it so simple to do this! I have a brew of apple juice with turbo yeast which is almost done, and i have some hard lemonade on the way as well, all from you! thank you for uploading and helping a poor student have some fun on the weekends :D

I made your apple wine 3 weeks ago, following your recipe closely and made 1.6 L in two bottles. and when it stopped fermenting I chilled it for two days and started drinking it, and glass or two each night. what impressed me was how drinkable it was, and nothing like anything I had had before. Delicious. I am usually a shiraz or merlot drinker, so used to dry wines with strong tannin/alcohol taste and less prominent grape juice taste, this is more a alcoholic strong apple juice.<br>So now I got given some of that English made turbo yeast that can take a brew up to ridiculous alcohol content since it contains special yeast and nutrients. I'm brewing a Cranberry pure shop bought juice with some added dried cranberries, a red wine made from redwine dregs off a 20L batch, plus added shop bought juice and added sugar, and a regular red wine from shop juice and this new yeast in everything. The yeast packet says not to use an airlock and I am guessing that in first fermentation, oxygen speed up the fermentation process. Similar in bread making, aerating the dough speed up the rise so a t-towel over the bowl is better than a cling wrap for this reason. The yeast can work anaerobically but works better with oxygen. <br>So thanks for these simple measures to make something very enjoyable, not available in shops and pennys in the dollar cheap.
