little experiment

[Lampie]

I saw this vid on youtube where a someone used raisins to make yeast. ofcourse I had to give it a go and see if I can use this yeast to get a WOW going :).

The proces is very simple, take a clean jar and i put in some hot water and put in 2 tsp of sugar in. Dropped in a hand of raisins and put the lid on and gave it a good shake.



Gave the jar a daily shake and this was the result after 7 days. The raisins floated to the top of the liquid and there where some bubbles forming.



so time to put some juice in a bottle and put in the liquid from the raisins in the juice.

I used forrest fruit juice with some white grape juice.

The fermentation looks good all the sediment floated to the top and the next day got some bubbles

Will be interesting to see how it compares to dried yeasts. Keep us updated :thumb:

I will keep this updated and after the taste test will do a side by side experiment. One with dry yeast and one from raisins to see if there is a difference in fermenting and tasting :).. But it has been lots of fun just getting this far :)
