Oh, and Steve and I made a five-gallon drum of Kill-You tonight.
The Kill-You recipe is as follows:
5 cans of 100% juice from concentrate (any juice really, but some work better...tonight we used TOP's brand grape-apple-raspberry...juicy juice also works, but since its not from concentrate, the water additive is different...the best mixture we have ever ever done is a Pomegranite/blueberry mix from Minute Maid)
5 cups of sugar
5 packets of rapid-rise yeast (2 and 1/4 TSP yeast per packet, if you get the jar...though this batch, I used 5 TBSP from the jar)
Proof the yeast first, then pour into the juice-sugar mix.
Fill the rest of your 5-gallon container with water, after mixing the rest.
Let sit at least 3-4 days (this is when it becomes alcoholic) but the best is when you let it sit a few weeks. The person who gave me this recipe recommended sifting out the contents through a cheese-cloth after a week, letting that sit a week, and repeat this process over a month until the batch comes out clear.
Steve and I have never let it "clear", but it has always turned out quite potent.
Potent. Very.
Its a nice, mellow drunk...its a good type of drunk. Every alcohol has its potency, as well as its particular trademark "buzz".
Kill-You is mellow; its very yeasty (esp for women, this is a warning...my BF got yeast infections religiously b/c of alcohol, but especially b/c of Kill-You)...but its a very pleasant, very mild type of drunkenness. Its potent, for sure, but nice...not intense.
The bestest best part of drinking Kill-You is that you made it by yourself.
This is highly recommended.
Make this; for serious.
You'll feel nice and awesome the next time you want a drink.
For nuances, ask.
No shyzeez.
You can try to bottle and cork Kill-You into wine bottles, but this is best done using Monin screw-top bottles (Monin bottles look like wine bottles, but they're coffee-flavor-shot bottles...corks will fly out, and if frozen, will push out alcoholic slushies...trust me)
In any event...use screw tops, if anything, when bottling.
If you let the Kill-You sit in its brew container, it will still keep for a very, very long time.
