Chateau Trailer Park (21st Century Ripple)
------------------------------------------
Mix 17-1/2 lbs of sugar into 5 gals of water at 150F.
Dump into 5 gallon pail.
After it cools, pitch Strand's Turbo Yeast.
Cover and set air lock.
Stir vigorously daily

On the morning of the fifth day, add the proper number
of Kool-Aid packs for 5 gallons, stir vigorously, and
cover. Lemon-Lime is best because it helps mask the
yeast taste.

On the 9th day, fill a few 1 liter plastic bottles,
take them to your local skid row and distribute to
the local gentry. If nobody spits it out, you have
a winner.

For the stuff you keep, fill empty two liter soda
bottles and let them age as in let the sediment sink
to the bottom and rack. Continuing doing this until
the yeast taste is gone.

Don't worry about drinking a liter or two while waiting
for it to clear. You won't start to go blind until the
5th or 6th batch.

But it's cheap and it's fast! :)

Turbo Yeast? Isn't that for liquor? Why is that considered
wine if no real juice is fermented or added?

Technically nothing made from anything other than grapes is wine but
tell that to someone who makes country wines and see what they think of
that distinction...

Turbo yeast is just very alcohol tolerant yeast as I understand it. I
don't think you can make liquor without distilling of some sort but
could be wrong there.

I meant that it is probably the type of yeast that they would use to
ferment something before distillation.

That is the only place I ever read about it too; a website that
described distilling at home in New Zealand. I wonder what it really
is.

Even my Oxford dictionary disagrees with that, going so far as to
specify Elderberry and Ginger as just two examples of "wines".........

I think that was Joe's point or in my words "Wine is made from
grapes while wine with an adjective in front of it, e.g.,
Elderberry Wine, is made from whatever you like."

It's not truein the UK, maybe in Grape growing regions *tilts nose away from reader*

It's a very fast fermenting yeast that is being used in all sorts of
things alcoholic.
Some people have also been useing it for normal country wines.
Some of the high alcohol ones give an off flavour and are really best
used for distilling.(as if we would!) but the ones that take a bit
longer produce some excellent fast table wines.
There's more about it all here
