natural yeast : raisins part 1, fermentation process

With a week turn around time I made my own raisin yeast.

Ingredients

a handful of raisins
distilled water at room temperature
a teaspoon of sugar

Directions

01 Get a clean jar. You can recycle. I boiled my jar and cap before using.

02 Put all the ingredients in the jar and mix. Amount of water should cover the handful of raisins or a little bit over.

03 Cap it and set the jar in the kitchen. 

04 Watch the fermentation process which takes about a week. During the week time you should shake it and open the cap for the mixture to breath and talk to it if you wish.


Day 01 : starting raisin yeast fermenting process.






Day 02: the raisins are a bit plumb, but no fizzing.






Day 03: shake it and heard a pop sound when I opened the jar,
but no alcohol smell yet.






Day 04: fizzing and I smell alcohol.






Missed Day 05, but continues on to
Day 06: smelling strong alcohol
and it fizzes like soda! yea!
