Boris shows how to make kvass out of black bread and raisins and cheeki breeki.
Kvass is a fermented drink popular in some slav countries and Baltic countries. Pretty much tastes like apple cider mixed with light beer.
Also good for cure hangover.
Ingredients:
1.5L / 50oz water
1/3 cup of raisins
1 teaspoon dry yeast
100g / 3.5oz sugar
two slices of black rye or pumpernickel bread
1 lemon
hermetic jars for storage
(unground coffee beans optional)

7 years later and I still make kvass every month... Thank you Boris, you have changed my life!!
Haha, the combination of your channel name and the fact that you make kvass is cute 😊
By burning it, is that the blackest bread you can find? 🤣
@@voxstulti6262 unironically yes, burning Finnish rye bread in a toaster makes for great kvass base!
He is actually the reason why Im into homebrewing
For anyone still wondering - no, you can't get drunk on kvass - alcohol content is too low, your stomach isn't big enough (unless you're a competitive eater of some kind); no, you can't taste alcohol in it, even without lemons; yes, it is safe to drink for kids.
Unless you put honey in it and let it ferment for a couple of months
@@Ilikebunnies-metoo how much honey should I add ? Sounds good
@@justragequit7078 about the same amount as the recipe (or 1/4 cup, which is a little more)
@@Ilikebunnies-metoo thx I appreciate it
@@justragequit7078 no problem
Actually my jar turned into a tsar bomba. Kvass everywhere in my kitchen. Blyat.
Use medical glove instead of cap.
@@parampoparam no no, it didnt work, try beer bottles with a special corking tool. You need to create pressure so that the kvass becomes carbonated. Well, or use high quality cans like Boris.
Ive just read on another comment that if you open it everday just for a couple seconds to release the gas you should be okay
Burp it
Always be careful with shit like this. High Pressure+Sealed Container=Bomb.

So, after making KBAC like 6 or 7 times, here are my tips for creating a slav miracle:
-Choose your bread carefully. The bread you use greatly determines the taste. The darker, the heavier the taste.
-When Boris says "toast it to Chernobyl", he actually means it. Turn the bread almost black.
-Dark bread has the tendency to fall apart in the toaster, which is pizdec. Use a pan.
-When operating on the bread cocktail, add caraway and whole pepper balls for improved spiceyness.
-Replace the sugar with honey. This does not only improve the taste, no, honey can also ferment (as is done in honeymead). With honey, you can actually get drunk on Kvass.
-Do NOT use a jar like Boris does, or a bottle with a swing top. They ferment very slowly. Professionals use a special device for this (which I cannot afford).
-Instead, use a glass bottle with a screwtop. Because you can regulate the pressure in the bottle, you can speed up or slow down the fermentation process.
-During the fermentation process, A LOT of pressure will build up. Be aware of that.
-When you start fermenting, add more than a few raisins. They speed up the fermentation (my record is 6 hours for the fermentation!) and when it is done, they taste delicious.
Молодец, товарищ! Спасибо.
how do you know when its finished fermenting?
@@qwertzu239 I taste it. It purely depends on personal preference though.

3:17 "If You have done everything correctly then your home may just smell bit like the worst smelling tea ever made."
That's the most correct sentince I've ever heard. Trust me, if you are gonna make kvass in distant future, you will understand.
I made some a while back and my kitchen didn't smell horrible but like a stew was being made.
Wait so does this actually have alchohol in it
@@sheepymendez6187 Yes, but only few %
NJICA25 is it a dangerous amount
@@sheepymendez6187 Ok, so You obviously know nothig about alcohol. Dangerous amount would be if you drink 5 shots of drink that has around 60% alcohol in it, but only because you would get drunk very fast. Lethal dose would be around 1 liter of pure alcohol. So if you drink total of 10 liters of kvass in one go you would get drunk, and if you drink ~45 liters of kvass in one go, you will die. So dangerous amount would be 20 liters in one go of few % alcohol drink.

How can u think of throwing bread sugar and raisins into a bowl heat it up wait 2 days and then drink it
Russians got the best ideas
TONTER TEP hahha indeed my friend.
TONTER TEP and might i add even get a good result.
Russian ingenuity. Also responsible for Kotlety, also known as something along the lines of meat, onion, pepper, and bread soaked in milk.
Yeast + Bread was actually how they made the first types beer.
Slavs have also strange varieties of kvas like beet or apple kvas.
Belorussians are so cool that they have Birch sap kvas.
Uzvar, which is non-alcohol is great too. Espesially in winter.
Also there are spotykach, yagodanka, varenukha, kalinchick and many-many others delicious alcohol things. Probably they was discovered when some ancient slavs spoiled a lot of products. But then they thought "No, курва, we will drink it!" And there was evening. And there was morning. And there was a hangover.
At least here in Ukraine we think so. Another method of all that crap was impossible to come up))

When kvass is solid its just bread
I tried this recipe, these are the results:
-Nice beer, a little bit sour, seems like a strange version of a muscat
-I fermented it 3 days, once a day I put the fermenting jar into warm water for 2-4h, I depressurized it once a day, and added the 1st and 2nd day a teaspoon of sugar, so to make my yeast happy
I expected it to be, like many said, 2-4% of alcohol.
This morning I bottled it, the following happened:
Give it a taste. Good. Proceede to drink a little bit of it and eat all the fermented grapes (about 40 of them), because why not, why waste them.
Drink like 33cc of it on half empty stomach, because it's quite good.
Here I am, 15mins after, writing tipsy a comment under this video.
I dunno what happened to my beer, but considering how much I drink usually before starting to feel the alcohol, this is not a 2-4% alcohol beer, for sure! I dunno how it happened but that's a very welcomed inconvenience!
100% approved recipe, thank you for sharing Boris!
The extra day and the bunch of extra sugar probably helped make more alcohol, I would imagine?
Same thing happened, its a great side effect

Alcohol in kvass usually is about 2-3%. You need to drink few litres of it in moment to get drunk. This way is quite difficult, harmful and makes no sense.

I have access to multiple kinds of yeast so I need to ask this. Is this bakers yeast or a specified ale or wine yeast ?
I used fast rising yeast and baker's yeast and both worked fine.
Thanks!
When you say "let sit for at least 3 hours" you mean letting the water get cold or continue to heat it ?
Bless you
Hey！I born in North West China, the place where is close to Russia,and I am very familiar with this beverage. Our people drink Kvass every summer. The taste of it is the chill and sweet memory of my childhood. However, when I left my hometown, I've never had a chance to drink it again. Thanks to this video, making it possible for me to make Kvass myself.
Wow your childhood drinking this?
Ahh, the video that not only got me into fermenting my own drinks, but making my own wine. My weekends thank you, Comrade Boris. My liver, not so much, lol.
Also, keep an eye on your jars, my friends. Ideally, just lay a paper towel (or regular hand towel, if you prefer) on top, put a rubber band on to fix it to the rim, and just lay the lid on top. No detonation, and your yeast friends can breathe a lot more freely. Everybody wins!

It's not strong, and in Russia its not even considered alcohol. We have several fermented drinks here that are popular, and sold to both adults and kids, kvass is one of them. Second most popular would be Kefir, also has some alcohol, but they even serve it in school and kindergarten cafeterias

Just a heads up to anyone if you decide to make multiple quarts of kvass it needs to be burped. I was in process of making 5 quarts and the glass jars i used blew up in my room. Plus side the kvass tasted awsome, down side is parents didn't like the entire house smelling like warm kvass. 10/10 will make again
A little late maybe but how often do you think it should be burped?
Were you using fermentation grade glass? Big difference.

After 7 years, I am finally trying to make kvass. Wish me luck.
I have failed. The kvas was very sour and had a wine like taste that was very hard.
The pure joy that enters boris' voice when he say kvass
A word of advice from a fellow Slav - when you pour the boiled mixture into the jar for the first time, make sure you leave some space between the mix and the lid. Do not fill the jar to the max, or there's gonna be kvass all over the place - unless you have some really tough glassware. Accumulating fermentation gases tend to make jars and bottles explode and the smell stays for quite a long time. Stay safe out there!

This is like my 7th time watching this video, and it's still not gotten old. I also still have not gotten balls enough to try this recipe. Never change, Boris. Пока!
Around the time of you posting that comment, I tried making my first "kotikalja" (=finnish equivalent for kvass) from an extract and dry yeast. Tried making it a bit stronger but the yeast decided not to do its job. I guess this could've been prevented by making a yeast starter. Then I made a bread kvass pretty much with this recipe but added extra sugar and yeast and gave it a good bunch of days to ferment. Also made a few liters of it, not around 1 liter like boris did. Was really nice to get drunk with that! Instantly home-fermenting drinks became my hobby and I've pretty much made some kind of an alcoholic drink every week after that.
@@juuppihi! What should I do differently to keep the alcoholic content down and make it safer for kids? Ferment for only a day? I’m not sure
@@gbh1135 Ferment only for a day for primary fermentation as you said. Then do secondary fermentation in a bottle in the fridge for a day. It should be very good tasting, at least in my experience, even though I've only used malt extract for minimal-abv kvass.

I saw tourists and football fans that was in my country (Russia) in Rostov-na-Donu city at 2018. They stood by the barrel of kvass, bought a glass after a glass and did not get drunk. They asked me "What a strange beer? We drink it and not get drunk".I told them, it's non-alcoholic russian traditional drink.
Non-alcoholic by your standarts bc tbf it is lightly alcoholic (about 1.2%). Basically to get drunk on kvass you'll need to either mix it with vodka or drink a fair shit ton of it.
partially true
@@tarkanbashllari1627I once drank like 4L and was a little tipsy. Hard to get drunk unless you pack it with sugar

username not relevant
Good job comrade.
Got
Adequate work comrade now do this on such a scale you have 12 bottles worth of it daily then share with other comrades
Well I actually got drunk once for drinking too much of this - so I lowered the sugar from 100g to 80g (1.5L water) and 3/4 tb yeast for 36hrs fermentation. Also the best fermentation place is your DISH WASHER. Turn the plate warmer every 6hr and it can make the fermentation so much faster.
And do remember to keep your kvass in refrigerator for day or two. This is very important, since the taste of yeast isn't so well and sometime isn't healthy to you. You need to give them enough time to be deactivated and to be precipitated down to the bottom of your glass jar. The sediment is also known as "lees" in the professional wine-making. Homemade Kvass will still contain lively yeast and yeast won't die even after you've chilled your kvass for day or two - they will still produce alcohol just much slower. So, Longer the kvass "aged", more alcohol it contains and stranger it tasted. And I found the kvass that chilled in refrigerator for 24hr-48hr is the BEST kvass I've made. Very light and very refreshing!
Last but not least - if you had successfully made Kvass (means you had done it, drank it and did get diarrhea or something like that), you have been stepped into the world of fermentation. The next step will be homemade beer, wine and moonshine - even a small brewer.
the amazing sciene of zimurgy!
How long can you store it away (like on a shelf or in the refrigerator) before it becomes dangerous to drink?
Freezing could help. Freeze it and lift off the ice. Since alcohol wont freeze at that temperature whats left is the alcohol
@@usualrain7082 No. It could die if you take it from a very high temperature and then you take it to a cold environment. Is the same that pasteurizing milk, beer, etc.
Dude this stuff if done correctly can get you drunk as hell
I like your cooking videos Boris, especially your "pocket" army knife. I started with few fermentation projects few months ago. Never tried kvass before and I actually knew, that something like beet kvass does exist. However, I tried your recipe. I never made or drunk any kvass in my life until yesterday. No doubt that I will make some more in the future, so thank you! На здоровье!

making kvass isn't just a hobby, it's a LIFESTYLE
It is true. When you have a typical Russian summer outdoors, with its +45°C, and some job just done (perhaps outdoors, too), then a bottle of kvass in your fridge (of course, a barrel of kvass in your kitchen is even better) is not a lifestyle but a savior. Add the “okroshka” (a cold soup made of boiled vegetables, meat, eggs, fresh green onion and radish, mixed with cooled kvass, sour cream and a bit of horseraddish) to a total count, and, yes, kvass will be your lifestyle when all around is melting away!

@@kamenneikoo7854 you are wrong, if you drink enough of it in a short period of time you most definetlly will get drunk.

but the way it is made will make you get fat over time like american with diabetes.

Slav version of moonshine is samogon. When made properly, can be used as emergency jet fuel.
I actually did it. WARNING!!!!! ADD LEMON ONLY IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS
Why?
@Crow so how does that help?
@@Deus-Vult_Against_the_bots He's saying that the lemons make the Kvass even more sour.
ah. so no lemon for me
Life hack cut the lemon longside my friend
Just tried my first batch after letting it chill for a while. I can say with certainty that this will become a common drink in my house. I love it, my Fiancé loves it, and even my parents have asked for a few jars.
instructions unclear, ended up with a jar full of vodka.
You say this as if it is a bad thing.
You were making it from kartoshka instead?
Ah blyat! You used potato bread, not rye bread!
EVEN BETTER!
That's not just vodka, that's SAMOGON
i can make alchohol at home in only 2 days?! i thougth it took months :O
+Micke
thats what the spies want you to think!
Life of Boris pls visit the Rotterdam in the Netherlands! Good mayonaise here! And weed afcourse...
+Life of Boris
It's all making sense now. I most resist the western spy propaganda.
Yeah :D
its very very small amount of alcohol
Boris! I followed your recipe, and the kvass I made was a taste of heaven. First time tasting it, was a piece of slav heaven. Thank you!!
Instructions unclear: made mead in 5 days.
called medovukha in Russia
By adding a lot more sugar and fermenting for a few more days, you can make a pretty strong drink from this lol
Tried it again after a while, tasted like very cheap champagne. Fermented for 5 days, i maybe should've put more sugar in. (for future you, you fucking autist, it started on 20/2/2023, this was edited on 2/4/2023)
Damn, I definitely must do this.
use Blin not Damn.
When una youtuber que te gusta comenta en un video de otro youtuber que te gusta
LMAO
Did you make it? How'd it turn out?
Solitude of Alanna Your not old enough to drink
FB I + *You're* not old enough to spell.
When your mom wont let you buy beer so u make one instead
literally me doing this
Diehleeo it’s only about 2%, you’d need a whole lot to even get a buzz
@@chom6096 But is very tasty, and relaxing
@@chom6096 boris says it has a considerable amount id check your process again it seems off for it to only have 2%
@Rtu Barmen How did you do it ´wrong´? I´d love doing that with an ABV between 4-8% to have a replacement for beer. So get everybody drinking fucked seems like a good idea to me!!
Ive made this so many times since seeing this. Sourdough bread with lime is also good. Thank you Boris!
I know this comment I really late but I wanted to say thank you boris for making amazing content both for the laughs and recipes, I have just made kvass for the first time and I have made your piroshkis multiple times and my family loves them! Your awesome and thank you for the content!
Kvass is actually good for you.
"As its primary ingredient is rye, kvass is a good source of vitamin B-1 and B-6, magnesium, phosphorus, amino acids, and pantothenate. It is also rich in lactic acid and simple sugars, which contributes to its taste, provides ample calories to fuel physical activity, and may improve digestion, as with other lacto-fermented foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut."
And it taste delicious too
i can call you a western friend
@@hauntedpenguinhideaway We can be comrades!
It can give you diarehha if you drink too much
aaand you'll end up with cirrhosis.
"Blackest Bread"
-Cooks with mouldy bread-
There's no mold on that bread.
Rebasepoiss he means that when Boris says to use the blackest bread you can find, he decided to use moldy bread because it is black like Boris said to look for
It depends what kind of fungus you get.
www.madnessmomandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/mouldy-bread.jpg
I think if you cook mouldy bread you may get penicilin-like thing that will kill the yeast.
The Last Phoenix
The yeast already did its job if the bread is a loaf. Plus, yeast is a fungus, not a bacterium. Penicillin doesn't really do anything to it.
I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be sleeping right now
Yeah
I am
But will I?
No.
I will not go to sleep whenever I'm watching my favorite CZcamsr
I just found this channel and I'm very excited
I was bored
Refreshed youtube
Boris is always there for me
Im just waiting for news reports from all around of teens getting drunk off of Kvass because of Boris
1234fireball you'd have to drink gallons of it to get drunk. It's still classified as a soft drink in Russia.
its very light drink.
Kvas doesn't have enough alcohol - 1-2%, you'll have to drink a whole bucket of it to get drunk.
challenge accepted
your stomack will explode
this man reminds me of when i was back in croatia, but now i have to live in ireland because of my dad. thank you man for bringing back the memories or i would have forgotten.
every time I watch these, they are gold
Only person in the world who wakes up like "time to make kvass"
Peter Dathisen you would be surprised
ware did you get that sexy fucking bayonet?
+The Oily Hand
a hunting shop
good shit
It is a pretty cool bayonet, but it doesn't look like any Kalashnikov bayonet I've seen.
The Oily Hand KA-BAR
Djazz I looked and couldn't find it, do you know what its called?
Heavenly creation :) thanks Boris!
Holy cows of Helios, finding raisins in Japan is a major pain in the ass! I had to go to a farmer's market like 30 miles away.
Sultanas should be good
Very easy to make yourself actually.
Fresh grapes, make sure they are seedless. Make water boil, add grapes to water, boil for like 30-40 seconds, drop them in ice water (this is to make sure the skin breaks easier so moisture can escape), place in "slow oven" (just heat your oven to like 80-110°C), bake 12-14 hours, done.
Boris: BABUSHKA IS ITALIAN SPY NOOOO
Also Boris: *picks Lavazza coffee*
lmao true
Lavazza really be some nice coffee tho
I used a hermetically sealable glass bottle. In the long yeast fermentation process, the night of the first yeast day it blew out its sealed cap (which was held by many metal rods and i dont know how it happened) And it bursted kvass like mentos and coke. I took the bottle in a hurry, opening the door which lead to the garden. I ran to the garden, and fell. When i fell, i tripped the glass bottle out of my hand. It was lying there on the grass, tip pointed to my neighbors house. I was just getting up when the reaction got intense and shot a stream of kvass that was presumably fast as a bullet, and it flew to my neighbors house, broke the glass (I’m assuming it wasn’t very new and strong) and then i heard a dog scream. Worst experience of fermentation in my entire life.
I got the same experience. Since then I never use bottles with sealable lids. After some trials and fails I developed my own recipe, which I think is very easy and tasty... So you basically need. 1.5l of lukewarm water, 100g of sugar, 2-3 tbs of liquid malt extract, 1tbs of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and 1ts of dry yeast.. Just mix all ingredients with water and pour it into a big jar. Close the jar with latex glove (make in the glove a small hole with needle). Put in a warm dark place for 24h then pour the liquid into a plastic bottle and let it carbonate for about 4-6 hours. After that chill it and drink. The taste will be even better if you don't drink it right away, but let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
how the hell did it break a window bro now i am scared to make it
You've got to release the pressure in the jar every so often each day- once or twice. I suspect it exploded due to the violent shaking from it hitting the floor, next time try and leave it in once place and ease the pressure for better results.
Thanks man. Tried it, but the taste of Kvass is weird :)
This reads like the "I keep a musket for home defense" copypasta
I love this guy I'm new and I already love this I hope he never get cancelled or quits
это "блядь" когда он промазал хлебом мимо тостера - первая вещь, над которой я посмеялась за эту неделю. сеньк ю комрад
I’m not gunna lie, i started having nightmares that I’m isolated in Russia during the winter after i started watching your videos.
😂😂😂😂
That would not be that bad. Or?
It is just a nightmare for you but a reality for me
Your nightmares are my dreams
It wasn’t that bad of a dream just brought about a lot anxiety, because i do not speak Russian but can recognize the language because of living with friends from Ukraine and Russia. So the dream is as more or less scary because i had no idea what anyone was saying or what was going on.
Dear Boris, does the hermetically sealed container need to be hermetic enough not to let any gas out? Because a bottle just exploded in my kitchen, covering the whole room in cheeki breeki yeast and half dry raisins.
Marti Alexandre plastic bottles and kvass do not mix, as stated
get a hermetic glass jar
Marti Alexandre you need a glass jar, thick glass that can hold in heat like window glazing
Marti Alexandre maybe
There are lids designed to let the pressure escape without anything able to disrupt the fermentation process.
When I made it, it started to smell like eggs and mayonez after a day or two. It tasted like kvass, but the smell was pretty bad
I tryed to make kwass .wonderful résult! Marvelous .instead if I put on Apple because no limon in fridge , one little spoon of cinnamon because bread not so black" ,I have only one regret : finished 2 Glass container Nescafé , and no made a Big container of 10 litres!! So sweet and true , so strong bringing me in astral way .without ni headeck After ! Wonderful .Thank you drouq daragoye Boris 💖💖💖
You made me the most drunkest in a year. For that you receive my friend award!
2:16 Babushka came to Italy to have a cooking contest with Italian babushkas, the one who cooks more food wins!
...It was a tie, huge amounts of butterbrod, kompot and lasagna were made and the Italian population had gained so much food they decided to reward Babushka with jars for kvass and coffe to stay awake and cook in case Boris was hungry in the middle of the night. I am Italian and this is what's written in our history books 100% accurate.
Wait, are you in the LoB discord
@@FranTusajigwe I was yes
I remeber that it was glorius
I think i remember watching that documentary. American film makers made a AAA movie back in the 60's about it.
It's like slavic Coca-Cola,except it's not bad for ones health at all.And if u drink 10 or more of these,might get actually boozed a bit,while if u drink 10 cokes u might end up in emergency.Fun fact:If you are making this at home,the darker color of the liquid is,the better it will taste.Cheers!
dzonyyya Alcohol is bad for the liver though
Kvass has very little alcohol in it.
Neta Guterbaum kvass is pact with probiotics because of the fermentation process, so it basically negates the alcohol if u drink it in moderation :P
It’s usually just made by brewing yeast. If you buy it in Russia, it’s not classified as an alcoholic drink, so anyone can buy it and drink it whenever (if you buy it from a shop)
Is it save for kids, teens to be exact?
I follow Boris recipe, I now have Kvass. I'm happy Slav now.
Loved this.
