Homemade booze
You can make homemade booze by fermenting tins of fruit from Lidl. I know this because fellow b3tan Kaol turned up at our house with a Tupperware lunchbox full of what he optimistically referred to as "wine". Tasted fine mixed with lemonade. I revarnished the table the following week.

Haha!
Well, of the 40 litres I made, I think there are still about ten left. In the bucket fermentation vessel, which I left in the garage. In Wales.

Woohoo, you have Internets!
Hmmm. If they're lucky, those old people you rented from might die before they ever get a chance to return to their shed.

(Edit: unless you mean your in-laws' house.)

It seemed to be along the lines of:
buy tinned fruit; put tinned fruit in a bucket with a lot of sugar; let it ferment. There may be a more sophisticated process involved, maybe some cheap gin primer or something. Hopefully the Scourge of Wales will return and tell us.

Pretty much.
I got a bucket with an air-tight lid.
I cut a circle in the top and fitted an airlock (see here) - They're a couple of pounds from Wilkinsons.
Sterilised the whole lot with Milton, the stuff they use for baby's bottles.

Then five cans of tinned fruit, four kilos of sugar, a packet of powdered yeast, and about forty litres of water.

Bang the lid on firm, fill the airlock half up with water.
Leave the whole thing in a warm place for a month.
Drink it.
