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.

Actually its a good idea because the dead yeast on the bottom is anutrient for the live yeast. But obviously if you are getting ready toclarify you don't want to mix up the sediment.At 03:27 AM 3/4/2004 +0000, you wrote:>Everyday I give my bottles a shake, is this a bad thing to do?

thanks mate very much appreciated Jameswhere are you ?

And nice flavor too - not ""wine-y"" or anything. Use the high-pressure caps, and ferment it with a half-cup of sugar or so. I don't know if you could add extra flavors to it - maybe some lemon extract, or something like that, to give it a little fruity aroma. I've never tried it that way, but I know that the white grape juice makes a very nice, clear, refreshing drink. Doug __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
