urple Drink Hooch1 can frozen "Grape Juice Cocktail" (~15% juice)~40oz waterE-Z Cap Wine yeastAdd all ingredients to 2-Liter bottle, shake vigorously, then let ferment for 10days to 2 weeks. Put in fridge on day 14 to clarify for 2 days. Will tasteexactly like grape soda, but with a little kick. I figure I get around 6%ABV.> I'm only 3 days into my first batch and so far it tastes just like carbonatedjuice, not 'wine' taste or body at all. I know it's still a little earlythough.Wayyyyy too early to drink. A week of fermentation at 65-70deg at least, then aday in the fridge to clarify and chill down will vastly improve the taste andquality of your ciders. Face it, you're not gonna put Spire/Woodchuck/Hornsby'sout of the hard cider business, but at least you'll have something drinkable forlittle or no work!ORGINAL POSTER: k_
