...trash bag and twist it shut while leaving enough empty space for gases to build up. Put the bag in your sink and run hot water over it for thirty minutes to activate the fermentation process. Once the bag is nice and warm, wrap it in a towel and stow it in a dark place. After waiting a day, open the bag and toss in the sugar, ensuring that your hooch will have a high alcohol content.
