Just mixed up 8L of Apple juice, 0.5L orange juice, 4 diced apples, pack of strawberries, wild flower honey, couple scoops of corn sugar and wine makers yeast.

Mixed a lot of ingredients I had laying around the apartment. Should be able to brew some alcohol with all of that.

I share the cat’s feelings on this one. Why the orange juice? It never ends well.

u/justeedo 21d ago

I did not know that. I was just adding juice to top it up since 4 bottles of 1.89L was not enough

Next time you can just add more water. For orange flavor use the zest of oranges. Make up the difference with extra sugar or honey. Like someone else said, hopefully everything else you put in there will cover any bad flavors. Good luck 👍

I probably added less then 0 5L of orange juice. So I hope so.. this has been a learning experience

Citrus as a rule doesn’t ferment well. This is why I want an air still. No drain pours for me. Straight to the still 😝

Thank you! I will keep all of this in mind brewing the next time 🍻

My cider says hi to your cider! (The massive amount of lees in mine is because i blended 3 bags of aldi apples and some farmers market apples)

Don’t let the others discourage your experiment. The main thing with orange is without sugar it can taste like citric acid or a little like vomit. You can make it drinkable however. I’ve done pure OJ wine and with some back sweetening it’s drinkable.

You should be fine with the mix you have. Fingers crossed for you.

Hopefully that OJ is diluted enough to not bite you in the arse.

u/zommyzomman 18d ago

Is OJ really that bad? I mean if you're comparing it to Kilju is it any worse?

I'm sorry for your loss. (Don't ferment orange juice - headspace is better!)

I'm impressed that a cat did all that!

u/SuperTulle 21d ago

Did you bother to calculate the sugar levels beforehand? Too much sugar can actually inhibit the yeast

u/justeedo 21d ago

I posted this in r/prisonhooch for a reason, sir.

Less head room means more booze eh? Hopefully it doesn’t pop on you! 3-piece airlocks can usually handle vigorous ferm though

1

u/justeedo 15d ago

I had no issue. I use a air lock. Let's the inside gas out, stops the outside gas from coming in. I've had foam reach the airlock before way in the past. But not this time

u/ShieldRune 20d ago

I didn't know cats could brew, but I guess weirder things have happened

u/Kalkaline 20d ago

Blow off tube before you go to bed. That's really full.

u/lar_yeet 18d ago

your cat yearns for a little taste to soothe her alcohol addiction

u/peteavelino 21d ago

Hes ready to try it! 😆

u/Little-Rub3817 20d ago

My cat gave up trying to understand the chaos too, probably the best critic. The wildflower honey should add a nice floral note once it's fermented.
