Making alcohol on the backpacking stove is a great way to enjoy a cold drink without having to lug around heavy bottles or cans. It is also an excellent way to save money on expensive drinks, as you can make your own for a fraction of the cost. With just a few simple tools and ingredients, you can make your own alcohol in no time.
The first step to making alcohol on the backpacking stove is to gather all of the necessary supplies. You will need a pot or pan, some sugar, yeast, water, and a stirring spoon.
The size of your pot or pan will depend on how much alcohol you want to make. A medium-sized pot should be enough for most recipes.
Once you have all of the necessary supplies, it’s time to start brewing. Begin by adding two cups of water into the pot and bringing it to a boil.
Once it has reached boiling point, remove it from the heat and add one cup of sugar into the mixture. Stir this until all of the sugar has dissolved completely.
Next, sprinkle one teaspoon of yeast into the mixture and stir until it is completely combined with the other ingredients. Then place this mixture back onto low heat, stirring continuously until all of the sugars have been fermented by the yeast.
Filtration
Once fermentation is complete, you’ll need to filter out any remaining solids from your liquid alcohol before drinking it. This can be done by pouring your liquid through several layers of cheesecloth or paper towels placed into a funnel.
Storage
Finally, once your homemade alcohol has been filtered and cooled down slightly, you’re ready to store and enjoy! Pour your brew into small bottles or jars and store them in either a cool pantry or refrigerator for up to three weeks.
Conclusion
Making alcohol on your backpacking stove is an easy way to enjoy homemade drinks without having to resort to expensive or sugary pre-made mixes. By following these simple steps and gathering just a few basic supplies such as sugar, yeast, water and a pot or pan you can make delicious alcoholic beverages in no time!
With just a little bit of effort you can save money while enjoying tasty drinks at home or on your next outdoor adventure!
