Home brewing

 

Home brewing wine and beer is one of the most interesting - and sometimes exciting - home based hobbies. Interesting because with a home brew, you never know just how good it is until you pop the cork. And sometimes, it can be very good indeed...........

Also, there is no tax payable on what you make so the price is a fraction of what you would pay in the shops. And you don't have to sacrifice quality - With a little careful preparation, what you make at home can rival the very best commercial offerings.
