I think I just accidently made alcohol

[RunDownHouse]

Would dumping some PGA in there kill off the bacteria? Patrick?

if you boil it first your chances of getting sick go waaaaay down.

That is true, but if you boil it you will also probably boil off most of the alcohol. Even if it doesn't make you sick, it will most likely taste really bad. You obviously got some wild yeast into it, but there's a good chance that some mold or bacteria also got into it, which will either taste bad or make you sick.

If I freeze it, will that kill some bacteria?

Is there anyway to recreate this with less bacteria? If I just open it and close it immediately afterwards?

If you really want to go into home brewing or winemaking, you need boil the stuff or pasterize it, add yeast, and put a trap on it to keep bacteria and mold out. If you got something decent tasting with your accidental wild yeat fermentation, you could innoculate your next batch with the current batch (assuming you didn't already drink all of it, but you need some kind of trap (to let gas out, but not let bacterial or mold spores in) to keep your next batch from getting contaminated with something nasty.

just drink some and drink a lot of water afterwards to flush it

Is there a safer way to make more of these in the future?

get a fresh drink. pasteurize it, add brewers yeast, keep in a warm area and wait a while. Drink.

also, google homemade hooch. I love the stuff.

I'm guessing could also treat it effectively with Iodine tabs or Chlorine. It works in the backcountry.

Kurosh, anyone who thinks they can clean up poison is a fool.

Make hooch, and make it the right way.
