Make home brewed beverages in 5 EZ CAP steps:
 |
|
1) Pour fruit juice into a rinsed-out plastic soda-pop bottle. (2 liter bottles work GREAT)
An EZ Cap is like any normal cap you would screw onto a pop bottle except that it contains a pressure release valve that prevents the bottle from exploding and also keeps contaminants out.

The kit that was sent to me is working perfectly.I was very surprised at the quick development of my first batch of grape juice wine.It was very satisfying to say the least. --- Larry MarseeJust click the button below to order.

Almost any fruit juice can be made into wine using EZ Caps. --- Linda G
Thanks again for the EZ Caps. These things are great and my party was a hit. After polishing off a 2 liter bottle of hard cider we filled the empty bottle full of Kool Aid on a lark. The yeast that settled on the bottom must have still been alive because it turned the kool aid into booze! I gotta say kool-aid booze isn't the best but the fraternity didn't care! Great product and we're sending payment for 10 more. There's no easier way to homebrew!
Hello, I have tried your EZ Caps in home winemaking and I LOVE them. --- J Robinson
The kit arrived yesterday and the first batch is brewing. What an easy way to make wine. I can hardly wait till it's done. Thanks so much. --- H Brooke
Thanks for the info. This is my second set of EZ Caps. Great product. I am having a ball making my own sparkling cider that is ready to drink in 5-6 days. This is something that I had tried to do for years without much success. I am sure I will be back for more EZ Caps because a lot of friends are amazed at how easy this is to do and how good the cider tastes. Thanks again --- G Allen

Frequently asked questions
When I first used EZ Caps I was amazed at how easy they were to use. I had some homebrewing experience but had never dabbled in cider or wine making. EZ Caps changed all that. In an effort to supply the best possible experience for my customers, I have compiled the most Frequently Asked Questions.
Section I: EZ Cap use FAQs
Answer: Add sugar to your fruit juice. For example, adding 1 cup of table sugar to 2 liters of apple juice can yield a cider up to 15% alcohol. You can't get an alcohol content much higher than 15%. Once you get to that level, the alcohol becomes toxic to the yeast and fermentation stops.
Question #2: I fermented my juice too long and it's too sour to drink, is there any way to save it?
Answer: Yes! Add sugar, a little at a time, (to taste) to replace the sugar used up by the yeast.
Question #3: Is there anyway to speed up the fermentation process?
Answer: Yes. The speed of fermentation is dependent upon many factors, such as the amount of yeast originally added, the sugar content, the type of juice, but mostly, the temperature. Juice fermenting in a cold basement may take 10 times longer than in a 75- 80 degree environment. I 'speed up' my batches by placing them someplace warm, such as on top of a water heater. You can even put your bottles on a heating pad on the LOW setting.
Question #4: I tried using tropical fruit juices and it looks like it's curdling!
Answer: That is a natural process of fermenting many juices such as pineapple/orange mixes and other "pulpy" fruit juices. Don't fret. When you clarify the beverage in the refrigerator, that stuff will settle to the bottom.
Question #5: Can I re-use yeast?
Answer: Yes. After clarification, carefully pour the fermented beverage into another container, being careful not to disturb the sediment on the bottom. Then add more fruit juice (and sugar if desired), shake, and replace the EZ Cap. You can make several consecutive batches this way without cleaning or adding yeast.
Question #6: I'm looking at the Welches white grape juice concentrate label, and it lists preservatives. Can I use it with my EZ Caps?
Answer: Yes. I have never had a failure fermenting any kind of juice, even the ones that list preservatives. Welches white grape juice concentrate actually ferments very quickly. I normally add sugar to prolong the fermentation process and increase the alcohol percentage.
Question #7: I want to try a non-sparkling fermented beverage. Can I do this with EZ Caps?
Answer: Yes. Add the EZ Cap yeast just like you normally do, but don't screw an EZ Cap (or any kind) of cap onto the bottle. Instead, cover the bottle neck with plastic wrap and poke a hole in the center with a needle or tooth pick. The juice will ferment, but the CO2 will escape, and the beverage will not be carbonated.
Question #8: Can I make soda pop with EZ Caps?
Answer: Yes. The secret is to sweeten the beverage just the way you want it, and then ferment it for only a day or two. It should carbonate and have very low (about 1/2%) alcohol content. There are many soda pop and ginger ale recipes on the internet that work well with EZ Caps.
Question #9: I drank some of the yeast. Is that OK?
Answer: Yes. Yeast is actually high in vitamins and beneficial to your health. Some people buy brewer's yeast in health food stores and sprinkle it on their food.
Question #10: What kind of water do you recommend when I'm making juice from concentrate?
Answer: Tap water will do but filtered water is better. The cheapest form is the type that screws onto your faucet. Make sure your water and juice is a tepid (lukewarm) temperature. Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will delay fermentation.
Question #11: Can I contact you with other or specific questions?
Answer: Yes. In fact the information may be added to future FAQs!
Question #12: My EZ Capped beverage is fermenting, and it looks like the EZ Cap is bulging and there is a slit in the middle of the EZ Cap. Is this normal?
Answer: Yes. The bulge is proof that the EZ Cap is maintaining the proper amount of pressure. When carbon dioxide needs to be released, it will exit through the slit.
Question #13: My beverage is done fermenting and it's in the refrigerator. Can I replace the EZ Cap with a normal bottle cap?
Answer: Absolutely. The sooner you replace the cap, the sooner you can start your next bottle fermenting. I highly recommend putting the beverage into the refrigerator, letting it cool, and then swapping the caps. Otherwise you can have a champagne-style overflow.
