Shitty pic o algo but it has turned yellowish a bit like the color of lemon juice. It also makes a shitton of carbonation whenever I burp the lid, and when I tried a small sip it tasted a bit like watered down beer. Clearly not done yet but seeing actual progress on something gave me the boost I needed today so I'm grateful and excited for it.

Also forgot to mention it smells vaguely of Sprite and bread

Bro's making a bottle of cumrum

It doesn't fizz over anymore when I open it, and the color has shifted to a white-ish clear similar to Squirt (grapefruit soda). Taste wise, besides a hint of alcohol it's basically flavorless; considering all the horror stories I've heard I'm accepting this as a success. The alcohol itself also seems to work, I only drank a small cup and I'm decently drunk

Overall pretty good experiment. Next batch I will actually be adding some flavor to it because believe it or not I actually don't want to drink tasteless sugar wash

botulism can't survive in just yeast and sugar water/fruit juice/what have you, the only reason it's even associated is because of prison "hooches" where they'll just throw any vile shit they find into the toilet and hope it gives them a buzz from the black mold

Please don't drink methanol and go blind; it's not good for your health

I threw this together last night. For now it's just yeast in sugar water but I'll likely end up some throwing some other flavor in there, probably a fruit, maybe some honey

did you just use bread yeast? i heard that can work

Wowie either I'm a bigger lightweight than I thought or I made something unexpectedly aryan, just two shots made me more drunk than even most other liquors (at an equal amount). Closest comparison would be like a good whiskey buzz with maybe a beer on top

From what I understand the ethanol (good shit) kills basically everything else and unless you're literally using a prison toilet you should be generating ethanol before any other contamination gets in there

Literally just dumped a packet of the cheapest "active dry yeast" my local grocery store has into an old soda bottle filled with tap water and sugar and let it sit for a week behind my TV

As long as you're not distilling anything and brewing without fruits you'll be fine for methanol

Distilling is illegal o algo so I will not be doing that. Also the post I linked specifically debunks the fruit thing

From what you linked:
There is one way in which your alcohol will be tainted with some amount of methanol naturally, and that is by using fruits which contain pectin. Pectin can be broken down into methanol by enzymes, either introduced artificially or from micro organisms. This will produce some measurable amount of methanol in your ferment

This won't matter doe as the levels are low and tends to be an issue when distilled
