So recently, i've gotten into hooching, but i couldn't buy yeast (cuz why tf would anyone randomly ask for yeast) (also im broke.) so as a master plan, i got into baking and REALLY made sure my parents knew about my interest (btw before this, i have only made batches with the natural yeast in fruit skins) So when i eventually asked for dry active yeast, they didn't even question it. When i finally got my hands on actual yeast, as soon as they left my view, i started preparing my newest batch. I grabbed a gallon water jug, diced up an apple, added like 2 cups of sugar, and finally... added my yeast. I was SO excited. I checked in on it just a few hours later. And do you know what i saw? TONS of bubbles. I am ecstatic. Im never going back to natural yeast, (well unless i run out)

Or would it be at risk of exploding? I would be storing them in bottles. I want to make some to store in the fridge for a warm day

My ingredients:

64oz of Lipton lemon flavored tea from concentrate

1.5lbs of sugar

Fleischman active dry yeast

Overall it was like $6 for all ingredients at Ollie's, super cheap recipe.

I'm interested to see what will come of it, also how much yeast do y'all think I should use? I was thinking maybe 2 packets would be enough.

Edit: I'm also thinking about frost jacking it, depending on the weather and the abv at the end.
