As for how it does it, without going too far into the technical details it breaks down the starch molecules into smaller pieces, and those pieces happen to be sugars. The same thing happens in a beer mash, where naturally occurring amylase in the malt breaks down the starch in the grains. So what y...

Don't they make vodka from a potato ferment? I would think some kind of starch dissolving enzyme such as amylase - https://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Amylase_Starch_Enzyme_25g.html - since potatoes (afaik) don't have their own like barley malt does. I think they do make vodka from it Jim...

So on one of my other posts I was told that tomato would not brew well as there is little starch to them. So we all know potatos have a lot of starch in them and I have a lot of potatos hear so why not! Any way I have googled "how to make potato wine" and see no clear conection of how do they turn t...

This is a wind up surely? Orange juice, sugar, a tea bag, rennies and bread yeast? No the internet is leaden down with people who are not prepeared to put an oz of effort into anything so this is why we have silly little snarky attacks and insalts of those who are jealous of those of us that save a...

i'd also be strongly looking at pH though. chuck some chalk in there and i reckon there's a good chance it'll continue. Orange yes higher acid, but would this high PH be a problem for taste or fermentation? Har har :D at this point I am reminded to chuck a couple of Rennie tables in as they are ful...

Get yourself a decent fermentation vessel (bucket with lid) and some wine yeast from Wilko and things should improve dramatically. Could not be bothered with all this sterilization crap, so that is why I tried a differant method But Wilko sell wine yeast!!! wow if that is the case I will be in town...

No offence Jim but that sounds horrible. Are you in prison by any chance?

No it much better then I though, if you give it a tea bag (forgot to mention what I added to it when boiling the sugar) it give it a taste of maturity

Mullan, I could not understand much when I googled carbohydrate But Oneioi, yes I understand what you mean about turning starches into sugar as I have done this with barley for brewing beer before. What I would like to do is brew a 1 lite supermarket carton of tomato juice (as I really love tomatos...

I thought that would of been enough but this will be very hard to explain so I will have a go Been brewing orange juice in there own 1 litre cartons Pored some of the contents of each carton out into a pan and added supermarket sugar to the pan and boiled it then poured the contents of the pan back ...

Is there a way I can remove the sugar or can I brew it again by adding more yeast?
