Topic: I am making homemade alcohol, fourm.

Last night I mixed some apple juice, yeast, and sugar and put it into a bottle with a balloon (with a few pin holes in it) over the top to allow the gases to escape. In a week, it should be alcoholic.
Inb4 I die from drinking it.

You will not die. Give it more then one week.

How To Make Applejack
Apple wine is different from hard cider in that it is usually around 10-12% alcohol and is fermented with the addition of sugar and other ingredients such as acid blend and tannin for flavor balance. Hard cider typically runs around 5% alcohol and is produced by simply allowing the apple juice to ferment on the sugars that are naturally present.
The features that make Applejack different from hard cider or apple wine is that it has a higher concentration of alcohol. It can be as high as 30% alcohol or 60 proof. Also, the apple flavor is more intense or concentrated.
Applejack is made by storing completely finished apple wine at below freezing temperatures. What happens is the water that is in the apple wine freezes and rises to the top while the alcohol stays in liquid form - a process known as fractional crystallization. Each day you simply scoop off the ice that has formed, causing the alcohol and the apple flavor that is left behind to become more concentrated.
Each day you will notice that the amount of ice that is forming will be less and less, until eventually no more ice will form at all at that particular temperature. The following will give you an idea of how concentrated the alcohol can become at a given temperature: at zero degrees ice will form until the liquid reaches 14% alcohol by volume. At 10 below ice will form until it reaches 20%. At 20 below 27% can be made. And, at 30 below 33% alcohol can be obtained.

Baking yeast. Fleischmann's rapid rise to be specific. It's not the right kind of yeast, and I'm sure it will make it taste awful, but I'm mainly doing it for the lulz.
