Guest T-Bone Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 No refrigeration + sugar laden liquid = alcoholic beverage. No ifs ands or buts. Of course if you bend the Bible to your own interpertation, you can also bend history and logic as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results would not be alcoholic and would not be pleasant at all to drink. Yeast is our friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I once had some pineapple with juice in a rubbermaid container in the refrigerator that fermented. It was fizzy, alcoholic, and sweet -- like pinapple in champagne. If only I could make it on purpose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let your grape juice sit out a too long it will get bacterial, not yeast, growth in it. Wine only results if the yeast is still present on the grapes at the time of mashing.
