Alcoholic Cordial

[jimbro]

just wondering if anyone has tried fermenting some cordial with yeast and had some good results

i was thinking of of using Kool-aid because you have to mix sugar with it anyway

tell us what you think?

thank you

Sorry can't help but this topic may whet your appetite if you are inclined to experiment.

At soem point in the distant past I made riboozer, which was about 3 litres of ribena syrup and 1kg of dextrose with champagne yeast, made up to 20 litres.

In direct retaliation, a friend made a similar thing with red cordial (tip: get one with artificial flavours and colours, these wont ferment out).

I haven't been tempted to do another one, not even to torture the guy over here at AHB brewdays.

Do a search on google for prison wine...

For the truly authentic taste brew it in a plastic bag stashed in the toilet using bakers yeast (or a slice of mouldy bread stuffed into a sock if you can't smuggle any yeast out of the prison kitchen).

Its generally pretty vile. Even brewed using proper yeast.

Go for it Jimbro. Be a brave man. Let us know how awful it was after you've done it....

Not having had kool aid for a very long time, I would just check the label for preservatives which could really cramp the yeast's style.

You are a brave man indeed for trying. The closest I have done to this is

the ribena thing sounds good
gotta be careful that your cordial isn't full of preservatives that'll give the yeast a hard time
cordials are chocka full of cane sugar so theyd probably ferment out like old Uncle Bobs SpewBrew (can+1kg cane sugar)
