Zeetahn, You're experience is pretty much identical to my own thus far, though I've only been through 2 batches. The stuff was very carbonated, but I couldn't for the life of me detect any alcohol after the week of fermenting. Hopefully some of the fine folks in this group can steer us in the right direction.

I have tried 4 different juices: organic apple cider, concord grape, strawberry/bannana and a product called Green Goodness that has apple, pineapple, kiwiu and even some brocolli in it. I am disappointed. I mixed like in instructions, I tried fermenting them for a week even with heating pad on them occasionally just in case my Minnesota outside weather is not conducive to good inside climate. I am not impressed nor are my friends. I had to pour the Green Goodness concoction down the drain as it stunk and I was concerned about my health if I drank it. The others: first day or two produce some foam and then look like nothing is going on unless I open the cap, then they foam up a bit as the CO2 is released. (I have put about 1/8th or more of a tsp of yeast in) Over all I just cannot tell whether my end product has alcohol ( no buzz from it ), has actually fermented or rotted thereby producing the CO2, or what. I am all for cheap wine making but I should think one should have wine out as an end product and this certainly is crap wine if wine at all. Any advice? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yahoo!
