Bottled five litres of Prison Style Hooch today.
Tastes like a really tangy orange juice and worked out at around 4.5%
Basically poured 4 lites of Orange Juice (Asda Smartprice) on the used Turbo Cider yeast slurry and left for two weeks, added another litre of OJ and gave time to resettle before bottling.
Very much and experiment but the stuff tasted nice enough and i wonder if it will age at all.
I'm guessing at least a few of you have made something similar... did you like it?

i just learnt that an old gin bottle can't take the carbonation of Prison hooch, small leakage.
This was over carbonated 1 litre of new orange juice to 4 litres of fermented juice was not a good ratio.
Also i don't think an hour was long enough for sediment to resettle after pouring a litre into water bottle with a long drop from neck to surface.
The over fizziness has over emphasised a yeastiness not apparent at bottling
Fingers crossed for the two, two litre pet bottles remaining
Lessons learnt in the early brews can only educate the taste of the later ones.
Hoping 4 litres are salvagable even if i have to let them go still, or decant.
Experiments will continue however with fresh information in hand and hope in my heart.

as it was an experiment i will be alright if this stuff is spoiled... didn't think about oxidation...it was the first time that i used my 18 litre water cooler bottle as a fermenter. As i only put 4 litres in to begin with the litre at priming had to drop a fair way to mix in...
lesson learnt:
at least it wasn't cider, i now have 2 five litre containers for these smaller experiments.
This is an image of the fruit frenzy but apart from the contents, the set up was very similar to the prison hooch i did (at least with the frenzy i put the priming sugars straigt into the bottle : }

This Prison Hooch had a tangy, acidic taste and i have to say that i really enjoyed it. I don't drink fruit juice (unfermented) that often but i think Sunny Delight used to do a Tangy or With Pulp bottle that this is very reminiscent of, of course the sunny delight bottle was unlikey to have the warming alcoholic kick that this one does.
As an equal opportunities drinker, i tend to give anything a go and this may be the nicest fruity alcohol that i have had including alchopops and cocktails although i'd be the first to admit i haven't investigated this branch of drinking too far or too recently.

i'd say this was a really drinkable drink. you can of course just get a good vodka and an orange juice you like the taste of and come up with a similar result.
Part of it is the spirirt of adventure, part is wondering why no one else has or does do it. Also it obviously comes with a free story about the attempt whether it works out or not.
This one was enjoyable and me and a friend got through a 2 litre bottle before moving onto the more regular drinks. It was good at the start of a session. Which ended over 24 hours later with actual oranges so as to return some measure of vitamins to our bodies.
I definitely take no offense, but then again i find it hard to stick to one drink, even a drink i like a lot when i stay in or go out, i like to know what new/other things taste like. Otherwise i would have stopped at Turbo Cider made with Champagne yeast.
I don't really take comfort in having the same drink from everywhere (not saying that you do) that many of my friends have. Just because you find something you like doesn't mean there isn't something you would like better.
