Re: Home Brew!
Most lager type US beer is the same watery crap they have here and I think they're all 5%. Why do Canadians think their beer is better than the US? Have you tried the Pilsner stuff, its diabolical.

Re: Home Brew!
We get the export versions of US beer - they serve shandy in most bars in the US 
I still remember a bartender in the US ripping in to me for daring to ask why the domestic beer didn't have the alcoholic content on the labels - the stuff he just served tasted even more watery than anything I've been subjected to at the Saddledome

Re: Home Brew!
About 15 years ago,I started making my own wine.Some of my results were as follows.
Coffee,grim but only took a couple of weeks to make.
Parsnip,grim but potent.(Tasted a bit like sherry)
Celery,grim.
banana,didn't clear so discarded.
Apple,not too bad easily the best.
Anyway kept it going for over a year til oneday the corks just blew off practically my entire suply,soaking everything in the garage.Heartbroken,I discarded my brewing kit.Never to continue.

Re: Home Brew!
most of the wines in me book took months.
Coffee took 2 weeks,so I knocked out a fair few bottles of that to begin with.

Re: Home Brew!
I like the cider brewing idea, but for wine you can 4 half decent bottles of red wine in a box for 18 dollars in Washington state.

Made dandelion wine once ... slightly yellow and would probably strip paint.
