Title: Do you make your own beer?
Post by: bumtrouble on November 29, 2006, 06:30 PM: Nothing better than a pint with your Madras, I have posted this website on this homebrew site that I use, try it, homebrew is not like 15 years ago the kits are from real ale micro breweries and are better than 90% of beer you buy.

Post by: bumtrouble on November 29, 2006, 06:44 PM: i have started making my own brew again after 10 years, the kits today are superb and if you go for a quality kit the beer is excellent, works out at about 45 pence a pint and does not give you a hangover like so many commercial brews.

Woodfordes kits are excellent as are Brupaks pride of yorkshire series, especially the Fixby gold bitter. :)

Post by: DARTHPHALL on December 17, 2006, 07:18 AM: Off Topic......You can actually make your own Absinthe (ah yes the liquid of the Darkside).
But i recommend just buying French Amer or a good Swiss La Bleu.
