Can you make alcohol with just water sugar and yeast. In a large saucepan over high heat, bring water to a boil. Yeast nutrient also helps to create stronger cell walls, which make yeast less susceptible to alcohol death. For this take 250 grams of sugar per litre of water.

You could purchase some yeast nutrient to add to the sugar and water but nutrient is mostly raw chemicals and other things to help the yeast to reproduce, you would get more alcohol but it. This crucial step helps prevent unwanted bacteria from contaminating your homemade alcohol recipe. I also discuss why this might not be as simple as it appears and how to avoid the pitfalls.

Infact some hobbyists are even successful in doing so. Turn the heat to low and add. The yeast eats the sugar and that produces more alcohol.
