Making wine...... at home ?

[magicmistertea]

Dad used to make Elderberry wine. It was lethal and tasted like shit. He loved it though and didn't mind the taste (he smokes 60 Woodbines a day so probably has no tastebuds left).

I was tricked into drinking proper moonshine last summer. We were sat waiting for the ferry in Caen on our way home from Le Mans when we noticed the guys in the truck in front were friends of a friend. Usual craic followed by the offer of a wee dram of something special. I texted my friend to say I was with his Cockney mates. Just as my stomach began to burn from the beaker full of brew that I had just swallowed I got a reply text ' DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING THEY OFFER YOU!'

it was incredible. Luckily we boarded the boat before it kicked in as within 20 minutes I was wasted.

yea im not looking for anything that strong !!

Tried it once. Alcohol content was very high and it tasted aweful. Beer too. My Grandad used to brew his own proper beer in his cellar, secret recipe that included tea leaves and all sorts of wonderful stuff. Awesome pint of beer, never had another like it since. He used to have 2 pints every night, the first night he had 3 pints and had a stroke.
