Heres a recipe for something i am going to have fun with - making and drinking.
The posh name is - Kilju - or Wine Water - or Alcoholic Water.
Dead easy to make and as a bonus you can add anything you like to it to make for instance Alcho Coke, Dandilion and Burdock, any syrup based flavours. Make your own Blue Wickeds - or Alco vimto,ribina,blackcurrant etc etc
RECIPE -
1 X 5ltr bottle of water
Nutrient - Epsom Salts, Vitamin B1 tab or Andrews 1 t spoon
Juice of 1 lemon
800g Sugar
Yeast
METHOD
Bring to the boil 1.5 ltr of water and turn off the heat and add sugar to disolve. Pour 300 ml into a jug and add cold water to 600ml to cool it. Add nutrient, lemon juice,and give it a stir then add a t spoon of yeast, then leave for an hour to get going.
Pour rest of water syrup into bottle and add cold up to neck of bottle again to cool it.
After an hour or when yeasties show signs of multiplying add them to bottle and shake it then top up to about 2 inches from top.
Add an airlock or cotton wool to top of bottle or replace top but loosely tightend so gas can escape.
sit back for around 15 days until it looks like this with no more bubbling = =
Then the fun begins - best stuff to add is DIET coke mix for Sodastreams or in fact any of the sodastream flavors but must be diet. Ratio is 10ml per litre or 200ml per 5ltr.
The reason the diet stuff is used is it contains no sugar and only non fermentable sweetners.
If you use stuff with sugar in it like syrup flavours you will need to keep an eye on the bottles as it will start fermenting again.
Use old 1 ltr pop bottles and prime with 1 t spoon of sugar - leave for 5 days to carbonate then fridge to drink. You can also add the flavours to the plain alco water on drinking too. That may stop the over carbonation, but the diet stuff you can add as you bottle. Those green fizzy water bottles are good for this as they can withstand pressure and are PET bottles and food safe.
