How much of everything.
Enter your container size. Water starts at sixty percent of the container volume — the sugar and scraps take up the rest, and the top twenty percent stays empty for gas.
Usable liquid volume: 4.00 L — water is 60% of the container
Water = 60% of container volume. Sugar = water ÷ 10. Scraps = sugar × 3. That is the 1 : 3 : 10 ratio by weight.
Finished enzyme for plants and air: 1 ml eco enzyme to 1000 ml water.

Headspace (20%)
1.00 L
Empty space at the top of the container. This is not wasted volume — it is where the carbon dioxide from the fermentation lives. A batch with no headspace splits its container.
Estimated harvest
2026-10-27
Ninety days from today. Add another two to four weeks if you want a stronger, more amber liquid.
Gas and stir schedule
- Days 1–14: open the lid once a day to release gas.
- Days 15–29: once a week is enough.
- Day 30: stir the batch, push floating scraps back under.
- Day 90: strain, bottle, rest for a week.
