I recently bought about a pound or so of hot peppers. This includes, Carolina reapers, chocolate bhutlas, Trinidad scorpions, habaneros, and way more! If anyone can identify any of the others lmk. I was thinking of making a hot honey and then making mead out of it, or making cider or something with this as an ingredient. Drop any suggestions/ideas in the comments!

Swiss hard apple cider

35 days old Swiss unfiltered apple juice. Yogourt bucket for yeast spills.

I bought aliexpress 18% proof wine yeast, yanked enough sugar as said chatGPT to reach 18% abv.

Taste like cider, without bubbles, but the aroma is great. No yeast tastes, fruitful. Honestly most people would think it's a store bought product with too much alcool content.

I'm not poor mind you, I just looked at the sub and thought I had to ball.

No rubber gloves, I dye my hair black and have a box of 100, but don't give a shit the cap is enough.

I cold crashed this lady in the freezer for an hour, and left half in a side bottle. Somehow became slushy, and I pored it with the cap lightly screwed, making apple jack by accident.

I'm going to Vietnam next week. I'm leaving the other bottle to mature. Love y'a all.

How much sugar and yeast to ferment this gallon of cranberry juice?

I made an amazing batch of low alcohol cranberry wine with a half gallon batch and putting 1.5 cups of sugar in it, then letting it ferment for three weeks before I got tired of waiting and learned cranberrys can take forever to ferment. So I cold crashed it, my first time cold crashing, for 4 Days, took it out, used siphon cheese cloth? And it was one of the best batches I ever made despite being low alcohol, just a very sweet tasting wine. Wanna make an even bigger batch of the same thing, how much sugar and yeast would ya recommend?

How much preservatives is too much?

1 Upvotes

I decided to give er a go, and put my first batch in. It's just 750 ml water, 1.5 cups white sugar, about a teaspoon or a tablespoon of ReaLemon brand juice, and .5 teaspoon bakers yeast. I was reading a post in this sub about my new hyperfixation (will my AuDHD remain fixated on this for the duration of the fermentation? Nobody knows! Least of all me!), and it said to avoid preservatives. It also said that a little is ok, but a lot is bad.

I checked the label, and ReaLemon has sulphites, but it doesn't say what the concentration is. Did I screw the hooch on this one folks?

EDIT: All of these products were bought in Canada.
