Then ferment a small amount with yeast and pour it into the malt brew. An important nuance: use only fresh compressed yeast and stir very carefully when adding water to avoid lumps. Then the kvass will ripen evenly, maintaining a mild taste. Pour water over the raisins too, and then mix with malt and leave to ferment for at least 8 hours. Afterwards, the kvass is carefully filtered, poured into bottles or other prepared containers and always cooled in the refrigerator. Malt kvass perfectly quenches thirst and refreshes on a hot day, leaving a pleasant aftertaste on the tongue.
