I have decided that alcohol is too expensive and will be making my own from now on. I have bought a 30litre tub, 10kg of sugar and some lemon juice.
My initial experiment making 5 litres of alcoholic lemonade was partially successful in that it seemed to be fermenting but I was too impatient and drank it all before it was ready

i did homebrew for a bit
the basic kit version, it was cheaper and the beer was reasonable. But it was a fair amount of faff and you then have 40 or so bottle of the same drink. Plus my alcohol consumption has dropped a lot lately

No, but it's technically illegal where I am anyway.
I might have to smuggle it in via relatives abroad.

Ian Huntley's latest batch has matured nicely
he's not been around to mess with it before it was matured.

Messing with things that had matured wasn't really his bag, it's true.
