| 1255397 | 2012-01-22 04:14:00 | Just wondering how many PF1 members brew their own alcohol goodness. And if so what the brew of choice is? | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 1255398 | 2012-01-22 04:28:00 | I was doing spirits up to a couple of years ago. Mostly whiskys, the odd liqueur and some knock you over mud shakes. | plod (107) | ||

| 1255400 | 2012-01-22 06:06:00 | Use to make it 20 years ago or more before the kits came out. You just bought your own ingredients. :) |

| 1255401 | 2012-01-22 06:12:00 | Made my own wine, cider and beer. Happiest days of my life. But then alcohol got so cheap it wasn't worth it. Due to tax and price rises I'm seriously considering it again though. |

| 1255402 | 2012-01-22 06:20:00 | Yep, and it’s a hell of a lot easier now than it used to be. :D If you maintain cleanliness with your fermenter and bottles, plus follow the instructions, it’s hard to get a dud brew regardless of make. Personally, I use Brewtec. However, as with all brews, personal taste is the bottom line. ;) |

| 1255403 | 2012-01-22 09:39:00 | I do occasional spirit runs, rum is the easiest since all the ingredients are cheap and common. If I ever get a dud spirit run (eg something goes wrong and it tastes terrible) I just run it through the still 2x to get a flavourless alcohol that you can add to another run, use as a fuel etc. Possibilities are endless. Its good fun except my still is broken :( and I have no money to get a new boiler |

| 1255405 | 2012-01-22 19:30:00 | It's turned into quite a commodity amongst tradesmen where I am, which is a fantastic way of doing things. Favours are repaid with products, everyone seems to have their own niche. One bloke has a Still, one is a proper old school Home Brewer, one makes Biltong, one has an endless supply of Crayfish etc etc. I'm going for a gap in the market - Mead. Then, all we need to do is find a Panel Beater with access to a selection of cheeses and we'll be set. | Contented (15925) | ||
| 1255406 | 2012-01-22 21:10:00 | I went through a phase of making saki, it's ridiculously easy and tastes ok. (rice, yeast, sultanas, water - stick it in a plastic barrell and leave it for a month - just about all there is to it) I don't drink enough to bother brewing anything these days though. |
