What do you think?

To be honest, I'd probably like it better as a straight drink before fermenting, than as a "wine" afterwards. <br /><br />I've always felt that "wines" where you have to add extra sugar are kind of missing the point of the whole exercise, though. I mean, if I want to get drunk, and I already have sugar and yeast (and maybe a bit of molasses), I can make "Jungle Juice" directly and don't have to fool around with watermelons or dandelions or whatever other flavoring agent is proposed. <br /><br />I knew a guy in college who just fermented his sugar/molasses/yeast/water without any fooling around with flavorings. The molasses was mainly added as a yeast nutrient, any flavor from it was incidental. What he got didn't taste any worse than any other alcoholic beverage I've tried, and was better than a lot of them. tim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.com
