I made something rather menacing, Blue raspberry slushy wine

[fireworkmaster]

So on a different group I saw someone make blue raspberry bon bon wine , well I have a friend that makes sweets so bit of research and this monstrosity was born.
Essentially it's blue raspberry lollies minus most of the preservatives they would have along with slushy syrup , dextrose. Lime juice , lots of nutrient and high alcohol tolerate yeast .
Omg what have I done

Quatermass springs to mind.
I love the way the bung is held securely in place.
The future of life as we know it depends on that bung.
What have you done?

It has enough slack to lift bung but not enough that my lovely a**Hole cats can yank it out which they have done in past

My old moggy when I was a kid was jet black and he loved to sleep on the stairs , bathroom was downstairs , you can imagine 3am needing a pee and a cat that is essentially invisible at night..... Cooking fat was often referenced .
Loved the little sod though .

Does the airlock make that special 'prup'ing noise as used in lab scenes in old black & white Ealing comedy films?

 

[Cwrw666]

Nope but given the amount of colouring E numbers it sure looks like it hehe

[NormanHurst]

Wow. A shop nearby used to do alcoholic slushies on a Friday night - whacking a bottle of vodka into the swirling blue mush. Good to see someone doing it properly!

I was thinking it's slightly reminiscent of the goo in Re-Animator lol
