Product Warning & Safety Information

The process of turning juice (or any other beverage) into wine, cider, mead (or anything alcoholic) involves alcoholic fermentation. This is a process that – while running – creates carbon dioxide gas.
 
You don't want to have this process occur inside a sealed container. Here's why: if you ferment inside a sealed container, pressure will build up. If pressure builds up, a container can break.
 
That's why we say to NEVER tighten the lid of a glass gallon jug while you think there could ever be an active fermentation inside. Instead, we use an airlock (included in every Brewsy starter kit) filled with water. This allows gas to escape, but doesn't let anything in.
 
 The following statement applies to carboys (glass gallon jugs) and other sealed containers holding actively fermenting wine, cider, mead, or other alcoholic beverages:

CAUTION: Contents under pressure. Do not break or incinerate. Do not store at temperature above 120°F. Keep out of reach of children. Flammable. Keep away from fire or flame.

The following statement applies to all beverages created by the products sold under the Brewsy brand at GetBrewsy.com:

CAUTION: Beverages created as a result of the fermentation of sugared drinks and Brewsy products will contain alcohol. The combination of sugar and yeast triggers fermentation, which will produce a beverage with an alcohol content of between 6% and 15% alcohol by volume.

GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
