Kilju - Sugar Wine making
Kilju is essentially fermented sugar water. Find a 2 liter soda bottle, rinse it out with hot water or a bleach water solution and rinse again. measure out 1-2 cups of sugar and pour into the bottle. Then fill the bottle almost to the top with slightly warm water. Shake this sugar water up well so that no particulate sugar remains. Now get a smaller cup mix up a little sugar water and add your yeast to this solution. Allow the yeast to activate for 8 or so minutes or until a foamy head forms on the surface of the water. Now pour your yeast mix into the bottle, make sure you have left enough room on the top of your bottle. Now add some flavoring agents if you want. SWIM added apples to his mix. Find a balloon and place this on the top of your bottle and prick some small holes in it with a needle, this will allow Co2 to escape when alcohol is produced. Place your bottle somewhere out of the way and take into account temperature, room temp is good.
OK. SWIM wanted to share this info, but he also wants to know about some further steps and specifically how to kill the yeast and fine(clarify) the final product? SWIM knows that yeast will die when the alc. content is high enough. SWIM has tried to chill the mix over night to allow as much sediment to fall to the bottom of the bottle then somehow siphon the clear(er) top part to another bottle. SWIM has also heard that panty hose will filter the yeast? Finally for a home fining agent SWIM wants to try egg whites, anyone know about this?
