So who out there has a nasty little secret in their basement, closet or spare room.
I'm talking about home brew, beer, spirits, wine.
Just gotten into it after my uncle has been doing for almost 30 years.
I have a nice blonde pilsener beefed up with a little aussie hops and malt, just bubblin away on the ferment right now.

I have done it on and off for a few years.
Had the most success with wine because it's a little less fussy.
But fuck it's helluva cheap way to go. I remember doing like 60 bottles of beer for $20.
I hope to get back into it soon, and acually start doing it from scratch as opposed to using the syrup mix.

i've tried to brew beer. put too much sugar and it came out really bitter and undrinkable. i think i'll leave the brewing to the professionals.

sad story tangereen.
As my uncle says "it's all about patients, just let it mellow".Hey canuck, give it a go. I'm goin to try and make it to a class this weekend where they do it from scratch, just the grains baby.
They say that that's the best way to go.
Yup this lot should end up costing me about 35c a bottle.

Negative, classic.
What do you mean by younger?
I would've assumed most of the people in hear are in their teens...
You're inspiring me with those labels. Hmm

Oh I just meant he had them made a number of years ago when I was 10 or 11, before I woulda been old enough to drink.
