Gross. I've heard ginger beer is very difficult to make successful.

not including this one, I have made 2 previous. One totally sucked, one was totally awesome. Both were the same brand, using the same method. So yeah, Im 50% successful at ginger beer. Mixing it with Bundy makes for one hell of a potent Dark & Stormy. I've also done a Cider....but that pretty much just tasted like rotten apple flavoured cordial, since it didnt carbonate at all for reasons unknown to man. So in BOTB* Im 1/3.

I'm no expert on this whole home brew thing, but how much are you saving on making your own beer instead of buying a $35 carton of cheap fart Aussie beer?

cyanide_christ · « **Reply #163 on:** December 02, 2008, 03:43:45 AM »

1 batch of cheap homebrew like I make sets me back around 15 - 17 bucks a pop and makes 40 pints which is around 2 and a half cartons worth. Therefore a carton works out to be 6 or 7 dollars, so yes, it saves a SHITLOAD of money

I do a double brew for a 50 lt keg, so for about $40- $60 (depending what kind I do) I get about 125 worth (5.2 cartons) of 375mL beers.
For example though, at the moment I have a corona style one on and say it cost $60 for ingredients, but stubbies of those are only 330mL so you'd get about 142 of those (almost 6 cartons worth).

Only takes less than 2 weeks to be ready from go to whoa so plenty of ice cold beer on tap 24/7

I'm fortunate enough to have parents with a filtered water tap. Having good water makes all the difference in my opinion. Makes sense considering about 90% of the volume is water.

I wouldn't mind splurging and doing an expensive brew sometime. Last time I splurged I did an amber ale which cost around $50 and it was unreal. Shame I was impatient and drank most of it before it had a chance to properly mature and get super awesome.

I'll buy you all some fucking Iodophor

it can't make bad flavours in your brew because it doesn't taste like anything at all

cyanide_christ · « **Reply #169 on:** December 02, 2008, 05:36:27 AM »

You can take your fucking Iodophor and fucking stick it in my fucking arse, I mean your fucking arse fucking.

Ingasm · « **Reply #170 on:** December 02, 2008, 06:25:16 AM »

It's just the right size and shape

or would you prefer me funnel it

While you're there Simon, since you're always complaining about being broke...

"Enemas have also been used for ritual rectal drug administration such as balch?, alcohol, tobacco, peyote, and other hallucinogenic drugs and entheogens, most notably by the Mayans and also some other American Indian tribes. Some tribes continue the practice in the present day.

People who wish to become intoxicated faster have also been known to use enemas as a method to instill alcohol into the bloodstream, absorbed through the membranes of the colon. However, great care must be taken as to the amount of alcohol used. Only a small amount is needed as the intestine absorbs the alcohol more quickly than the stomach. Deaths have resulted due to alcohol poisoning via enema."

Bottoms up!

yeah man, wow alright. Back in my young, bachelor days living with mates, we made brew for drunkeness; not for flavour. The cheapest tin of brew mix you could get and 2kg of dextrose. About $15. Make 25L of that and it comes out at about 10% alc. Thats 33 long necks (750ml bottles) at a cost of 45c each, which realistically is the equivalent of 4 stubbies. 3 long necks, 4 on a good night and you were plastered. Thats right, we got totally obliterated on $2 a night. Yes, homebrew is cheap, if you want it to be.

Easy to use and reuse also. I've never had a bad taste from no rinse (sodium percabonate) either.

I'm cranking some ginger beer now using a deliverance/TWOC kit and a shit load of dextrose. Looks like its just ginger essence to be honest. I don't think it has artificial sweetener in it, which is good since that usually makes shit tasting ginger beer in my opinion. I'll add 250g of lactose just so it isn't too dry. Might also chuck on this black rock cider tin soon along with some no preservative apple juice.
