Choose your flavor, add sugar and yeast, then put it in an "oxygen proof" bubbler container that you make.
then WAIT.

This is a VERY easy process. You can drink your product in 30 days, but is NOT wine, yet. You will have a grape wine at 6 months, but I let some of my product age for years. Its up to you.

Fruit "wines" are drinkable very quickly, except grape. Grape wines need time to age and change, but 6 months is drinkable. I really like my apple cider results.

If you want to try pineapple beer, as made in South Africa, just put what you would normally throw away in a large, sterile glass jar with some sugar and set it on your counter for a few days or a week. You will have pineapple-beer. The yeast on the skin will ferment the sugar and give you alcohol. Refrigerate it , or you won't like it as it grows older.

Among my Korean friends, I am "famous" for my machil-ju... Koreans harvest the fruit and age them in a ton of sugar to flavor the eventual liquid. I buy the juice (or my friends give me home-made), and I just add my yeast and wait. The result is very mild and very tasty. MUCH better than just taking the juice and mixing it with soju.

Nouveau wine , anyone? contact: urgetoo@myfastmail.com if you are interested.

Zymurgy my friend!

You can do this with ANYTHING. Fruit, teas, coffee, vegetables, milk (not so tasty)...even blood (in theory). At one point, back in the States, my friends and I had probably 20-30 different gallons of brews going. Bear, mead, wine, root beer and ginger ale. Sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar. The hard part is getting a good yeast (homemade yeasts are fickle). And also the containers and airlocks.

Busanfoodguy, what do you use for an airlock, and a glass container? Where do you get your yeasts?

(A)

I buy my yeasts from the Grape & Granary online.. I have a LOT of them if you want any. Mostly from the Burgundy region of France.. very hardy yeast with a high alcohol tolerance (makes a high alcohol drink, about 12-15 percent)

I make a very good airlock at home drilling a hole in the cap of a heavy duty plastic water container, running medical tubing through it (and putting a dab of silicone cement around it for a tight seal), then the tube just drops into a bottle of water.. CO2 bubbles out into the water, but air can't get back in.

i like your way to make it it's do not not affect body.
