>David Hedlund →Production: A common manual way to dissolve refined sugar is to mix with water in a container which is half filled, and then sealed and shaken. However, a mixer or blender may be used to automatically dissolve the sugar, in turns, if necessary. |

An easy way to produce fermented water 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. | An easy way to produce fermented water 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. | ||

# A fermentation lock should indicate zero bubbles per minute. Then the sugar reserve is measured with a must weight refractometer/hygrometer. If there's sugar left, then more yeast should be added to consume it, and this measurement process should be repeated. Only when the must weight is zero, and when the solution has been clarified (usually with a fining agent like bentonite), an alcoholic hydrometer may be used to measure the alcohol volume. | # A fermentation lock should indicate zero bubbles per minute.
