i am new to home brewing i bought a few things gonna try some cheap wine and i also bought a packet of the super yeast x press to make up to 20 percent alcohol. i made a small batch 1 gallon using 2.5lbs sugar and 25 grams of the yeast. the package is for 6.5 gallons but i scaled it down for 1 gallon to try it out. i was wondering can you drink this stuff straight when its done. i assume is not gonna taste good but also can you mix it with flavorings to make a weak liquor. the package says to filter it using charcoal. anyone have way i can do that cheap. im not looking to spend money on a expensive filter or machine just something i can do cheap in my kitchen.
