Here's the story:
I decided to make Kilju, which is fermenting white Table Sugar, but I decided to add some Fruit Juice as well. I'd say it's equal parts of each. I used Baker's Yeast and it's been fermenting since Monday (4 1/2 Days ago) in my basement. The basement is a bit chilly and the liquid cold, and I realized this yesterday so that might be a factor as well. I also am using a 'Balloon Airlock'...yeah
It's still midway through fermenting and bubbling like mad, but I decided to take a shot to see how it was coming along. I expected ****, but I was impressed, it tastes like Mike's Hard Lemonade That's not a bad thing it's very good , but it confuses me:
-Why is it carbonated?
-I'm assuming it's only sweet because it's not finished fermenting, should I expect stronger ABV (Hoping for at least 15%) and less sweetness?
-Will the yeast settle and the liquid clear up?
