Comment on So…. What’s the worst idea you went through with?
over_clox@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoNah, not boiled, we just experimented the good old fashioned daddy don’t give a shit redneck way, with a 5 gallon water jug, plain old bread yeast, sugar, and whatever random fruits or berries he came across on the cheap.
He started with elderberries, then went on to try strawberries, blueberries, watermelon and bananas.
Surprisingly, even though he did things totally redneck style without all the proper equipment, I think around 3/4 of his batches came out alright. Not the finest of wines, but we got drunk on the cheap LOL! 🥂
Random idea we never tried: Technically tomatoes are considered a fruit, what would tomato wine taste like?.. 🤔

Honestly it works. I find that even without sanitization adding in good yeast results in good results most of the time lol. And funny enough tomato is on my list (but for beer, I’ve just been in a distilling mood lately). I also want to do Carmelized onions in a beer but that’s neither here nor there lol

Cool beans!
Speaking of, can beer or wine be made with beans? 🤔
I have no idea, obviously it takes time to brew. But whatever you come up with, keep us updated…

Hmmm beans do have a decent bit of carbs in them so hypothetically there should be an enzyme to convert those into sugars. Only one way to find out lol
