- How do you make alcohol out of apple juice?
It works like this: Pick a juice with at least 20g of sugar per serving, add a packet of specially designed yeast, plug the bottle with an airlock, and wait 48 hours. Just like the fermentation process used in winemaking, the juice's natural sugar is converted into ethanol, with a byproduct of carbon dioxide.
- Can you ferment store bought apple juice?
If you are fermenting in a store-bought jug of apple juice, then you will only need to sanitize for racking and bottling. This will leave enough room to prevent the fermentation from bubbling over. I recommend testing the sugar content of your apple juice using a hydrometer. It needs to be at least 1.050.
