That would be brilliant.
I made the Westcott Schnapps about 30 years ago when I first got into brewing..

One gallon of fruit teabag, but this time with a litre of supermarket grape juice thrown in as well, which may or may not turn it into something a little better. One gallon of supermarket apple juice wine (not merely supermarket, but past-its-sell-by-date apple juice at a pound for 5 litres). We'll...

Forgot to mention...
In my first batch of MKGs brew, I forgot the lemon juice Will it make any difference.
Today, 11 days on, the brew is still bubbling at 1 bloop/4 seconds !!

Yup,
I've given up on the homeboozekit method. Unstable just doesn't quite do it justice!!
I've found a couple of different methods of usinf fruit juice for a quick wine.
I'm just SO impatient for last summers wines to be drinkable... I need alcohol NOW

Hi all, Has anyone tried this method of quick alcohol? http://www.homeboozekit.com/ I gave it a try and after four days when I unscrewed the top we got the kitchen re-decorated in a lovely shade of pink???
