I'm looking into making some alcohol for a party. A decent amount of it. Is there any guides that anyone has made that go through the process of making it? Also what is the punishment for getting caught making it?

>> No.387799

Well, what type of alcohol? Hard liquor? Or beer/wine? What country do you live in?

Here in USA, I've got about 20 gallons of beer, mead, and cider I made myself and its completely legal as long as I brew less than 200 gallons a year (100 if you are single I think.)

I live in the united states. Is it only illegal when you distill it or what?

>> No.387808

>>387805
Yeah. There's a limit to how much non-distilled you make, but nobody enforces or listens to it so no worries there.

>>387808
Alright so do you have any recipes for cider and/or mead?

>> No.387823

>>387810
Do you have a year to wait for the mead to ferment?

"looking into making some alcohol for a party" makes it sound like he wants to make it in about a week.

good luck.

I've made some party punch from fruit cocktail, spare fruit bits, sugar, and champagne yeast. It was pretty cash for a 5 gallon yield after fermenting for 8 weeks. It was Racked and then carbonated in larger bottles - very tasty. Maybe 8-10% ABV in the end.

Do you have money?
Do you want to get drunk in style?
Do you have tastebuds?
If you answered "no" to all these questions, I may have just the right thing for you:
Kilju
Simply mix sugar, water and yeast in a bottle, slip a balloon over the top and wait a few weeks.
Remember to sterilize everything that comes in contact with the kilju, or the results may be disgusting in other ways than intended.

This is oversimplified. You need a rubber stopper and an air lock, or it will burst. I recommend getting these supplies from labelpeelers.com. They have the cheapest supplies, just be sure to sanitize your equipment. Also, one of those gallon containers with a grommet lid.

Wine is very easy to make, but it will take a few months

>> No.387954

>>387951
depends on how much you make. Gallons will take months. A liter will take 2 weeks.

Do people actually call it that?
Anyway I make this, and it's actually not that bad. And if I put that pre-sweetened drink mix shit in it it becomes something I can actually drink over a period of time instead of something to hold my nose and binge on.

8/10 would recommend to poorfags/underageb&. 2 cups of sugar per gallon, just put a package of yeast in it doesn't matter too too much.
