Two pounds of brown sugar per one gallon of water and one cup of honey for every ten gallon batch!. Starting hydrometer reading of about 90!. Do not exceed 100!. Add 1 to 3 ozs of yeast per 10 gallons of mash!.

Heat one fourth of your water to 120 or 130 degrees only hot enough to melt the sugar, then stir in your sugar and then the honey last!. Pour it into your fermenter and finish filling with cool water to cool it down to 80 degrees!. Take a hydrometer reading and adjust as needed!. The add your yeast!. 6 to 14 days to ferment!.
Yields about 12% alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can do a lot better in creating something to drink!. Google "country wine+recipe"!. You can also pick up a book by Berry on winemaking; he wrote several!. You will have to go to a store or order online if you want decent yeast (in terms of taste and alcohol content); most recipes call for Montrachet or Champagne yeast!. bread yeast is bred (no pun intended) to produce lots of gas and little alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When yeast feeds on glucose in the absense of oxygen, it produces CO2 and ethanol!. Ethanol is the stuff that gets you drunk!.

There's the basic chemistry lesson, and any home-made alcohol-brewing thing will be based on that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ferment the sugar in the fruit with yeast into alcoholic wine, distilll the wine into brandy!. Enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just let it ferment for a couple weeks!. Adding yeast will make it better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
