Fermenting V8 Splash?

[Newsman]

I was doing some grocery shopping today and noticed V8 Splash has a new flavor. I think it was Blueberry Grape. Anyway, I checked and saw no preservatives.
What would you think of grabbing a bottle or two of that and throwing some yeast in it?

 

[Dr_Jeff]

Do it and report back.
sounds delicious

 

[Newsman]

It's only a 1/2 gallon. I have some Nottingham yeast in the fridge. Might just do it.

Go for it

 

[Stormcrow]

That does sound good.

Finally got back to the store. It's pomegranate blueberry. 46 Oz per bottle. Guess I'll pick up a coue bottles and give 'em a try

 

[Newsman]

Here's the ingredients and nutritional information

 

[Stormcrow]

You're adding some sugar, I assume?

 

[Newsman]

I could. I mean it's barely a half gallon. How much would you suggest?
I do have 5# of honey. I could add some of that

 

[Stormcrow]

I honestly don't know. 22 grams of sugar may be plenty for that volume. I didn't do any math, just thought there might not be much there to ferment. Maybe someone else could chime in. I'm interested in how this turns out.

 

[Newsman]

Well, it should be interesting, if nothing else.

What is the serving size? The cider I make from store bought apple juice is about 29 g sugar per 8 oz, ferments out to about 6.5% ABV.

Wow. Sounds like he really wouldn't need to add any sugar then. Cool.

So how did it go?

 

[CKuhns]

Bump

 

[Newsman]

Haven't started yet

 

[Newsman]

Update: started tonight. Had to add approx 2/3 of another bottle of juice. Unfortunately the store was out of V8 Splash, so I bought a small bottle of pomegranate juice. OG is approx 1.045. Using Kolsch ale yeast

[Newsman]

Update - I think it's done. It smells pretty good. I'm going to leave it for awhile. Here's a picture of it.
