"Tell us your stories of when you got so drunk on homemade mead you pissed in the cupboard.
Or tell us about the time you tried to buy wine stabiliser but got chased out of the friendly merchants shop because that compound is used to bash cocaine.
Tell us about the trials and tribulations of not being able to afford 4 cans of strongbow and couldn't brew your own poison so you got pissed on antifreeze and the next day pissed in your own mouth."
Thanks SpanishFly. MAKE THE ABSINTHE

Helpful childI bought a beer brew kit which is a big bucket with a loose lid and the can of gunk and some sachets. After careful preparation I was rewarded after few days with a nice froth. One day I turn up at home and the place stank of beer. I look at the bucket and it looks okay but the floor is sticky. Wife isn't very quick to explain but finally it turns out that our 3 year old decided to copy mummy and mop the floor using my bucket of beer.
I tried to make wine from LIDL grape juice more recently following some youtube videos. Didn't go to well and I ended up with a cloudy non alcoholic yeast drink. But the prize for success (wine cheaper than any kit) makes me want to try again.
BTW my earliest disaster at brewing was at the hands of a Boots own brand brew bag. The concept is pure simplicity - pour warm water into a bag, slosh it around, add yeast, hang it on a door and delicious beer comes out of a tap at the bottom 2 weeks later. Except it tasted so foul I poured it straight down the drain.
I see beer bags are still on sale:

I don't know why they claim their system is "patented". Boots were there 20 years ago with this.

I like to think it was a mistake on the childs part and mummy was using water instead of daddy's silly fall down juice(, Mon 8 Dec 2014, 23:34, closed)
Goes without saying the beer in a bag kit is obviously going to be as bad as wine in a box,but even where the ad is for 'golden' beer, the stuff coming out of the bag at the end looks like the contents of a colostomy bag.

I'm sure it does taste bad. It's an intriguing idea but the thing is likely to produce something vile, flat and with bits of sediment floating in it. Just like the Boots one did.
