I made prison wine to show how alcohol is made without modern brewing equipment. Do not try this at home…

@GoldenHiveMead You're rockin' it! Inspired me to start.
I have 2 Jolly Rancher wines going right now. Doing a caramelized honey next (can't spell it) of 4 gallons. Doing a coffee gallon with some. Apple with another. I'm not sure what else yet.

Thank you, and keep going!

4:/ The acidity of monster can be neutralized by adding baking soda in small increments until a pH of 3.7-4.0 is reached, which is much more hospitable for yeast.

With the yeast starter strong and active and with the acidity of monster adjusted, the chances of fermentation were significantly higher.
