I don't recommend putting the drink in direct sunlight unless youput a towel or something over it. You are looking at a drink in the 10%range using 3/4 cups of sugar and fermenting about a week. This type ofdrink doesn't have an alcohol flavor. Be careful drinking it!I recommend clarifying for 3-4 days minimum to 2 weeksmaximum. Most of the yeast will settle in a few days but you can get allthe way to clear if you wait long enough.At 01:36 AM 3/4/2004 +0000, you wrote:>Thanks a lot to those who replied - it was a huge help.
