It all depends on the strain of yeast. Yeasts for wine can go up to 14%. Bread and brewers yeast peak at around 5%.

Distillation is the only way to get the % higher.

And no, your hand sanitisers contain traces of methanol. Not ideal for right now.
And probably wont be able to get wine yeast now during lockdown
 
I was under the impression that bread yeast died out after around 3% alcohol content? Correct me if I'm wrong, please. It's the reason I've never bothered to try homebrew. I can never be bothered to order brewing yeast.

Also if 3% is the case, is there any way to reduce the concoction to increase its vol? or would one need to distill in order to achieve that?

lastly, can't I just drink my hand sanitizer?

Bread yeast will yield a Less desirable alcoholic content if the purpose is to get knackered.
Brewers yeast and plenty of sugar will get you the running naked down the road. Without distillation.
 
Curry is King, but doing a traditional English Roast Dinner tonight, got me a leg of Lamb!
Got a jar of Balti Curry sauce in the cupboard, me thinks Lamb Balti with Pilau Rice tomorrow!

Sometimes it's better to suffer the least of two evils. He's choice was right even though some see it as wrong. You can't please everyone, but this way there will be more people left to complain.:meparto:

You are 200 percent correct, it was the hard and the right choice that he made.

My Fiber decided to lock me out of my PC or visa versa- , now that is what you call ''lockdown'' Got a M-WEB techie on the phone very quick , imagine being stranded w/out internet ! JHB is overcast but I don't forsee any rain . With this extension , I don't know if my juice is going to make it , so vaping less and less often .Otherwise nothing to report , To all celebrating Easter , Happy Easter/Pascha .

Carrot cake is my 2nd favorite dessert, my number 1 is Melktert, with a nice proper biscuit crust. I'll give away my firstborn rights for a decent Melktert.
 
My wife is a genius and loves baking when she has the time.

Cheesecake... for this weekend...

She says it’s cooling now. Lol I looked at her funny. Clearly I am not a baker. I just know my coils have to cool a bit before putting them under the tap when dry burning. Hehe
