I have two questions. How tough would it be to make a 3 litter version of the ez-cap to work with my tap-a-draft kit?
And do you sell bulk beer yeast or do you only have bulk for wine/cider?

I am only interested in making beer not wine or other beverages. Beer yeast comes in a limited number of package sizes (usually enough to make 5 gallons) how do you adjust this for 2 litters? How do you measure the right amount and how do you store the remaining yeast to prevent contamination?

Just wanted to pass along a great recipe. 1 X 1 liter bottle (flavored water bottles work great) 1/4 cup white sugar, 100% Fruit Punch, Juicy-juice is the brand I have been using, pinch of yeast. The exact amount of yeast has not been an issue, so a pinch has worked out well for me.

Juice is room temp, pour juice into clean and sanitized bottle, add the sugar and the yeast, mild shaking to mix up the sugar, and into the dark closet. 7-10 days later, into the fridge, then enjoy.

I'm looking for a way to use citrus fruits so if anyone has had success, please post. Thanks

Using around 4 liters of Target's apple juice (it was on a great sale, only a $1.50 for a little under 2 liters!), and 12 500ml bottles (have 2 ezcaps kits), I've set up a range of mini-cider batches using varying amounts of sugar. Each 500ml bottle has around 400ml of juice. The amount of sugar in each bottle ranges from none to 2tbsp. I'm letting all of them ferment for 7 days, then I'm going to have a group of friends taste test them with me. I'll post the results after my 'experiment' is finished.


Also, as an additional bit of information, I am fermenting them in an undisturbed dark box at around 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

My question is.. After putting the yeast into the juice with sugar "Should i shake the vessel" (to mix it with the liquid) OR just leve the yeast to rest on the surface of the liquid ?

Made my first go on cider last week and tried it today, very nice drink and very strong but without tasting strong, lethal but nice. made cider in 2litre pop bottles, and I'm keen to make more. I don't have a lot of fridge room to chill cider and stop fermentaion but would like to be able to make a lot and start bottling it with the swing top bottles. in order to pass on later as christmas gifts. Can i stop the process any other way or do i need to buy a seperate fridge. dont want my bottles exploding but would like to build up a stock.

can you use the the special ez caps yeast with say a demijohn and airlock to ferment so you get larger quantities?

many thanks

Hi I'm new to making wine this way. How quick and easy to use. I had a problem with exploding wine. I used tropical fruit juice and apple juice plus 1 cup of sugar and the yeast. I was fermenting for 5 days before putting in the fridge for 3 days. I was showing of to my mother how easy and nice the E Z caps are. I took it out the fridge, On unscrewing the cap, the wine shot out the bottle, hitting the ceiling, I couldn't stop it, I lost over a litre. Quite a mess and sticky, on the up side my mother has never laughed so much she was crying. I was soaked through. Any tips on preventing this happening again?

Hello fellow brewers.

I have brewed up a lot of tasty beverages with the caps and supplied yeast.

What are the other types of yeast that other people have tried?

Do they give a noticeably different flavor to the finished product?

I read somewhere that baking yeast was dangerous to use... Why?

How many different kinds of good wine yeasts are there?

When they evolve into new strains (by reusing the yeast more than roughly 6 times,) are the new flavors always "off" ?

I have an old book written by an old iconoclast that recommends making home made wine by letting wild yeasts start the fruit juice... Anyone ever tried it?

Thanks for reading and sharing your experiences!
