Hi all,
with the rising costs of living, its becoming increasingly harder to keep a standard of living that should be a base line in modern society.
luxury items like alcohol have to be put aside for many to pay for the ever increasing food bill.
why should we have to go with out or pay vast sums of money to have a bottle? ( or 2 )
I have been making my own tipple on and off for years now but its really been the last 2 years I've taken it up to just about replace all my alcohol spending.
When i tell people i make home brew there is usually a few common things people say:
1 all home brew is rough!
2 its for alcoholics
3 its always really strong
1
now, I'm not saying everything i have made was clear perfection in a glass but
i have put my average stuff up against the lower end of mid range wines, thats about £5-8 ish and mine usually gets picked as shop brought.
2
im sure there are some alcoholics that home brew but to produce alcohol takes time. do you think alcoholics can wait for fermentation to finish?
3
when it comes to home brew your the boss.
you have complete control of everything from the materials used to the end %
as a rule of thumb there are 2 schools of thought.
* sod the taste! give me the highest % possible
or
* go for flavor and quality
yes to the peeps that know, you can have both but to the beginner lets keep it simple.
hope you liked this peeps, more to come as well as cheap recipes.
