Fermented water is a Finnish word for ethanol fermented water that is approximately 15–17%.


Kilju ethanol fermentation is made by exclusively dissolving sugar, yeast, and water. Crude kilju is formed when the yeast have consumed all the sugar, it should have zero must weight. Kilju is finished after it has been clarified which will produce pure fermented water that is flax-colored with no discernible taste other than that of ethanol.

An easy way to produce kilju is to obtain turbo yeast kits (contains ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' yeast strain, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals) that instructs on the package the quantity of white sugar, and tap water needed.

# Mix the water and the sugar. Before next step, the sugar should be fully dissolved in water, which can be sped up with stirred warm water (a sous vide stick can be used), that is cooled back to room temperature (controlled by a thermometer), before the yeast is added.
