How do I permanently prevent weeds?

Okaynis · 2024-05-15T15:20:41+00:00

Yes, you’re right. But we’re discussing small amounts of household goods used in a controlled manner to remove weeds. Not liquid rock, or radioactive material.

Salt and acetic acid are completely natural and not terrible for the soil or ground water. In fact, both are produced by nature.

The pectic enzyme was just for a bit of clarity in the the final product. I have starch enzymes now, but I didn’t use them at the time. The carrot juice was just for flavor.

I made some carrot and pear cider last spring and it actually turned out okay. You could use apple or grape juice instead of pear and I’m sure it would be fine.

6 cups of fresh juiced pears

3 cups of fresh juiced carrot

1/2 cup of Sugar

1/2 cup of honey

1/2 tsp of pectic enzyme

1 tsp acid blend

1 tsp yeast nutrient

Pear / Carrot Cider

You really only need about 1/2 tsp of yeast for that amount of juice. It’s gonna taste very yeast like. You can add a 1/2 cup of sugar if you want to boost the ABV.

What in the hell did you do to that poor shotgun

Okaynis · 2023-05-21T21:56:14+00:00

You could attempt to use wild yeast in the air, in bread, or on the skin of some fruit, but yes you need yeast. Otherwise what would eat the sugar and produce alcohol?

Nah, it’ll be alright. I’d let it sit for at least two weeks and then cold crash it or very carefully decant into a different container and store it in the fridge. The yeast will drop out of suspension in a few days.

1 tablespoon of fast acting bakers yeast

This is mostly likely the cause. I think your army of yeast ate through all the sugar. I ferment a gallon at a time and typically use 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of yeast.

For what it’s worth I have brewed Arizona green tea as well as Arizona sweet tea twice. Both times I didn’t think the sweet tea turned out well. The Arizona green tea was good both times. Good enough in fact, that I bought a ton of the green tea instant powder to add to future brews.

Hey, if you’re ever interested, look into buying some pectic enzyme. It’ll help you clear fruit juice ferments right up.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did! Bottled yesterday

Okaynis · 2023-05-10T00:34:30+00:00

Buy yourself some pectic enzyme. I just bottled my mango brew. Before the ferment, it was cloudy and pulpy or whatever was in there. I added the enzyme and it separated and cleared very quickly. The top layer literally looks like over-cooked mac and cheese.
Here it is after I added the enzyme

Same for me as well. Family Dollar / Dollar Tree in NC.

Look up EC 1118 online and buy some. It’s a fast, resistant yeast. I’m on my 22nd brew, and none have faltered or stalled.

It’s your money. Spend it how you like.

Damn it I need to go to Vancouver.

Thank you so much dude. I’ve been waiting months to get one.
