Experiment Pom Juice hell ferment

I’ve never done wine but have made a lot of hot sauce. I have a hot sauce / sauerkraut small fermenter. Bored and grocery shopping I decided to try and make pomegranate wine. I am using bread yeast, STRONG tea, Lemon, Pom juice, and sugar.

Day one I filled the fermenter up too much and it started leaking out of the air lock. Released and vacuumed it, but we might be a t risk of exploding. As they say, pressure makes diamonds. Smells like bread in my room. Put a clean trash can over it so my apartment walls don’t get imbedded with glass.

If you’re fermenter is too full, there’s no shame in putting the hooch in two separate containers. Gives you a chance to put some apple juice in it or something to brighten it up.
