I've been doing kits for a few months now, saved a fortune and very drinkable. I'd love to do my own but haven't taken the plunge yet. Don't know if I'd have the time or space to make it worthwhile.
Can't drink mate diabetic....... alcohol turns to sugar .,..,.I have the odd G&T with ice over the festive season

Back in the mid seventies I started doing my own beer. After a few attempts I got quite good at it even though some of my ales resembled a sample from a diabetic shirehorse. For my firstborn lad's christening and in order to do a batch for the great many of guests I brewed 120 pints worth of lager in the sterilising tub that the missus used for the baby's terry nappies. Exceptionally sharp was the general compliment given.
A few years later I started doing wine and that was a lucrative business for me with my missus charging the residents of the care home she worked in 50p a bottle.

My sister in law lives next door to the brew dog brewery, I'm being serious btw.
Does that count?

Been making coopers kits for over a year now, very happy with the results
Australian lager
Australian pale ale
Canadian blond
Make with spring water, a family member gets an unlimited supply of free bottled water, so why not
Thinking of doing a little experimenting, maybe after xmas.

Got reasonably into it a few years back, all grain brewing but using brew-in-a-bag method that was popular at the time. Could make a decent IPA but it's not hard to make hoppy beers tbh. Something like a light lager would be the mark of a proper homebrewer, very difficult.
Got very bored with bottling day so was thinking about moving to kegs, but it would have just been deranged booze madness. 30 pints of quality ale sitting in your kitchen that needs drinking. So with that and it being quite time consuming I ended up losing interest (and have since stopped drinking ?) but it's a great hobby to try.

You're a wizard if you made a drinkable red wine mate - stuff I've tasted has always been absolutely miles off. Had some good sweet wines, mind, but home wine-making for a dry red seems exceptionally hard to get results with.
Were you working on a large scale? That's probably a big difference maker.

I’ve brewed my own “medicinal” vape juice if that counts?

Got one of these Wilko wine making kits for christmas, it apparently should yield 6 bottles each of Chardonnay and Cabernet. Has anyone tried these?
I am a little worried about keeping it at a constant temperature; there is nowhere in the house appropriate really as when we are both out the heating is off.
