Quote INGREDIENTS: 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 4 cups sugar 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen juice concentrate - any flavor except citrus, thawed 3 1/2 quarts cold water, or as needed DIRECTIONS: 1. Combine the yeast, sugar and juice concentrate in a gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Rinse out a large balloon, and fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band. 2. Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As the sugar turns to alcohol the gasses released will fill up the balloon. When the balloon is deflated back to size the wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total. no signature

I put two cups water and 1/2 cup honey in a 1 liter water bottle and put in most of a yeast packet. The balloon I put over the top is like 1/4 inflated, it's been about 45 minutes. I'm supposed to wait until the balloon starts going down, because that means the yeast is dead. I have a feeling it won't take all that long. For the honey at least. no signature

You can use juice from ANY plant material, instead of concentrates. Just be sure that the plant is not toxic. Here's a website with some actual info and recipes for anyone interested: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/ They also make 'pruno' in jail with the same basic method, but no yeast. Just juice/fruit, sugar, water, and a container. -Californian Educate Yourself. The Philosophy of Liberty United States Militia Forums The Stanislaus County Preparedness Group
