okay fucks. i'm making kilju. it's homemade booze that's apparently popular in finland. it's pronounced "kill-you" not "kill-jew" OKAY?
i was SO sick of all the different guides on how to make it, they were so fucking vague about measurements and ingredients sometimes. so after sifting through all of them, i came up with my own.
so here's what i used to start my batch:
- 15L bottle of water
- 8Lbs of sugar
- 3 8g packs of bread yeast
- a balloon
i bought a large bottle of water and i used that. it was $4 for a 15L bottle. the sugar was about $5.50 and the yeast was about $1.50 for a grand total of $11 so far. all this shit is available at whatever crappy supermarket you have in your area. i went to price chopper. god that place is depressing. anyway here's mine:
instructions:
1.) boil about 3 cups of water and let it cool to about room temperature and add your yeast to that. make sure that water's NOT HOT, just nice and warm. if it's too hot it'll kill the yeast. don't stir it. wait until the yeast activates (you'll see some foam after a few minutes). then add a few tablespoons of sugar and give it a light stir. leave it for now.
2.) add the rest of the sugar to the water in the bottle and shake it up.
3.) get your balloon and poke a few holes in it with a pin.
4.) add the yeast to the bottle, shake it up again.
5.) stretch the balloon over the top of the bottle (the balloon is a cheap airlock that'll let gas out without letting any crap get in).
6.) wait for about 10 or 14 days.
7.) fin...for now. when it's done i'm gonna need:
- a hose for a ciphon
- cheese cloth
- another 15L bottle of water
- some kind of sterilizing solution
that'll all probably be another $10 but after that you're only gonna be paying for sugar and yeast. i'll update when it's done fermenting. so far so good, i can hear them bitches going nuts in the bottle fizzing around eating up all the sugar. when the alcohol content is high enough the yeast will die and stop producing gas and the balloon will deflate, letting me know that it's time to rack it.
i recommend listening to howlin' wolf while you make this but you can listen to whatever shit music you probably like.
