has anyone here used ez caps before and how was it? I brew beer and wine
and look at this as an alternative to create smaller quantities for variety
and experiment....

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:

It's this easy:

1) Pour fruit juice into a rinsed-out plastic soda-pop bottle. (2 liter
bottles work GREAT)
2) Add the yeast (enough supplied in the EZ Caps kit for about 100 liters!)
3) Screw on the reusable, patented EZ Cap.
4) Wait 2-7 days.
5) Refrigerate. (stops the fermentation and clarifies the beverage)
6) Enjoy your beverage at 5-17% alcohol!


An EZ Cap is like any normal cap you would screw onto a pop bottle
except that it contains a pressure release valve that prevents the bottle
from exploding and also keeps contaminants out.


Using regular 2-liter pop bottles, this EZ Cap Kit, contains everything you
need to convert 100 liters of juice into tasty alcoholic beverages in the
comfort and privacy of your own home.

This EZ Cap kit includes 6 reusable EZ Caps, a large bottle of
premium yeast, instructions, a recipe guide and more- enough to make at
least 100 liters of alcoholic beverages. Whether you drink only
occasionally, or you're a candidate for an AA meeting, you'll love EZ Caps
and best of all YOU'LL SAVE A LOT OF MONEY making your own booze.

You never have to pay alcohol tax again!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question #1: How can I increase the alcohol content of my EZ Cap beverage?

Answer: Add sugar to your fruit juice. For example, adding 1 cup of table
sugar to 2 liters of apple juice can yield a cider up to 15% alcohol. You
can't get an alcohol content much higher than 15%. Once you get to that
level, the alcohol becomes toxic to the yeast and fermentation stops.

Question #2: I fermented my juice too long and it's too sour to drink, is
there any way to save it?

Answer: Yes! Add sugar, a little at a time, (to taste) to replace the sugar
used up by the yeast.

Question #3: Is there anyway to speed up the fermentation process?

Answer: Yes. The speed of fermentation is dependent upon many factors, such
as the amount of yeast originally added, the sugar content, the type of
juice, but mostly, the temperature. Juice fermenting in a cold basement may
take 10 times longer than in a 75- 80 degree environment. I 'speed up' my
batches by placing them someplace warm, such as on top of a water heater.
You can even put your bottles on a heating pad on the LOW setting.

Question #4: I tried using tropical fruit juices and it looks like it's
curdling!

Answer: That is a natural process of fermenting many juices such as
pineapple/orange mixes and other "pulpy" fruit juices. Don't fret. When you
clarify the beverage in the refrigerator, that stuff will settle to the
bottom.

Question #5: Can I re-use yeast?

Answer: Yes. After clarification, carefully pour the fermented beverage into
another container, being careful not to disturb the sediment on the bottom.
Then add more fruit juice (and sugar if desired), shake, and replace the EZ
Cap. You can make several consecutive batches this way without cleaning or
adding yeast.

Question #6: I'm looking at the Welches white grape juice concentrate label,
and it lists preservatives. Can I use it with my EZ Caps?

Answer: Yes. I have never had a failure fermenting any kind of juice, even
the ones that list preservatives. Welches white grape juice concentrate
actually ferments very quickly. I normally add sugar to prolong the
fermentation process and increase the alcohol percentage.

Question #7: I want to try a non-sparkling fermented beverage. Can I do this
with EZ Caps?

Answer: Yes. Add the EZ Cap yeast just like you normally do, but don't screw
an EZ Cap (or any kind) of cap onto the bottle. Instead, cover the bottle
neck with plastic wrap and poke a hole in the center with a needle or tooth
pick. The juice will ferment, but the CO2 will escape, and the beverage will
not be carbonated.

Question #8: Can I make soda pop with EZ Caps?

Answer: Yes. The secret is to sweeten the beverage just the way you want it,
and then ferment it for only a day or two. It should carbonate and have very
low (about 1/2%) alcohol content. There are many soda pop and ginger ale
recipes on the internet that work well with EZ Caps.

Question #9: I drank some of the yeast. Is that OK?

Answer: Yes. Yeast is actually high in vitamins and beneficial to your
health. Some people buy brewer's yeast in health food stores and sprinkle it
on their food.

Question #10: What kind of water do you recommend when I'm making juice from
concentrate?

Answer: Tap water will do but filtered water is better. The cheapest form is
the type that screws onto your faucet. Make sure your water and juice is a
tepid (lukewarm) temperature. Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will
delay fermentation.

Question #12: My EZ Capped beverage is fermenting, and it looks like the EZ
Cap is bulging and there is a slit in the middle of the EZ Cap. Is this
normal?

Answer: Yes. The bulge is proof that the EZ Cap is maintaining the proper
amount of pressure. When carbon dioxide needs to be released, it will exit
through the slit.

Question #13: My beverage is done fermenting and it's in the refrigerator.
Can I replace the EZ Cap with a normal bottle cap?

Answer: Absolutely. The sooner you replace the cap, the sooner you can start
your next bottle fermenting. I highly recommend putting the beverage into
the refrigerator, letting it cool, and then swapping the caps. Otherwise you
can have a champagne-style overflow.

Question #13: How does the fermentation process produce alcohol?

Answer: In a nutshell, yeast is a simple life form. As it lives and
multiplies in your fermenting beverage, it consumes simple sugars (it's
food) and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol as wastes. All alcohols, even
distilled spirits, would be impossible without yeast.

Question #14: I tried fermenting Kool-Aid and the alcohol content was too
low.

Answer: Sugar is food for yeast, but it contains no nutrients. Kool-Aid
powder contains no nutrients. You can add a tablespoon or two of frozen
orange juice concentrate to the Kool-Aid and supply nutrients for the yeast.
I also recommending adding more sugar than Kool-Aid normally requires.
Lastly, it's best to ferment the sugar/water/nutrient mixture first, and add
the Kool-Aid flavoring later. Kool-Aid contains chemicals that have
unpredictable results to a yeast habitat. When fermenting non-juice mixtures
or difficult-to-ferment juice mixtures, it also helps to shake the bottle
gently daily to mix up the nutrients.

Question #15: How do I know exactly how much alcohol is in my beverage?

Answer: To determine the actual alcohol content, you need a hydrometer. They
are cheap (under 10 bucks, I actually sell them if you need one). To
determine alcohol content you take a reading before fermentation and again
after fermentation, the difference between the two is the actual alcohol
content.

Question #16: I want to make alcohol content higher than 15%. How do I do
it?

Answer: Legally, you probably can't. Although there are turbo yeasts
(actually, very specialized yeast/nutrient mixtures, and rather expensive)
that can achieve alcohol content between 18-20%, you can't go any higher
without distilling. Federal law in the United States allows any individual
to produce alcoholic beverages via fermentation, but not through
distillation. (this is throw-back to the repeal of prohibition) Distilling
is the process of purifying a liquid. Just like distilled water is nearly
100% pure water, distilling a fermented beverage containing alcohol can
produce nearly 100% pure alcohol. Alcohol has a much lower evaporation
temperature than water, so a fermented beverage placed in a water distiller
will collect all the alcohol first. There are instructions on how to do this
in abundance on the internet, but it's only recommended if you live in a
country where beverage distillation is legal!

Question #17: I've heard of people going blind or dying from drinking
homemade alcohol. Are EZ Caps dangerous?

Answer: NO! Juice and grain fermentation produces only ethanol (the alcohol
people drink). In prohibition times many people tried to get drunk by
drinking methanol (a type of wood alcohol used by industry as a solvent). In
fact, consumption of ethanol is one of the only medical treatments for
methanol poisoning. The type of alcohol produced by EZ Caps is the same type
of alcohol you buy at a liquor store, except that many of the vitamins and
health properties native to fruit juices are retained by using EZ Caps. Of
course, overindulgence of any alcoholic beverages has serious health
consequences, and alcohol should never be consumed by pregnant or nursing
women, or children, or people with specific health problems.



***TESTIMONIALS***



The kit that was sent to me is working perfectly. I was very surprised
at the quick development of my first batch of grape juice wine. It was very
satisfying to say the least. --- Larry M

EZ Caps is the easiest way to make a great sparkling wine. Almost any
fruit juice can be made into wine using EZ Caps. --- Linda G

Thanks again for the EZ Caps. These things are great and my party was
a hit. After polishing off a 2 liter bottle of hard cider we filled the
empty bottle full of Kool Aid on a lark. The yeast that settled on the
bottom must have still been alive because it turned the kool aid into booze!
I gotta say kool-aid booze isn't the best but the fraternity didn't care!
Great product and we're sending payment for 10 more. There's no easier way
to homebrew!

why do you say its unnecessary? I do regular homebrews and that works
great, I find this would be a good solution for one of 2 liter varieties,
like apple cider or something where 23L would be overkill

I brewed a very high %alcoholic cider once using more than the suggested
amount of sugar. Upon opening, 90% bubbled itself into the sink it was so
charged.
