DRIFTER_016 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well I have decided to get into making me own booze as yet another hobby and to save a bunch of dough. Booze is anything but cheap up here in the NWT with beer averaging about $55 a two four and my beloved rum is $56 for a 40 ouncer. So while I'm waiting for my supplies to arrive from Texas lets here about your home brewing/distilling exploits!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeds Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Cider is cheap and relatively easy to make something both potent and palatable. You can turn cheap store bought apple juice into cider providing it dosen't contain preservatives. Citric acid is fine. Got completely wasted just over a year ago on my first batch. Wife shut down production after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) I considered just going to those 'u-brew' places for beer n wine to save $. Especially after drinking that sediment-ridden swill of a beer imitation my brother tried to make at home AND convince me was delicious.

lew Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I considered just going to those 'u-brew' places for beer n wine to save $. My wife enjoys a glass of wine and started using one of those places a couple years back and says the stuff she makes is excellent. And when her and her girlfriends all get together here at the house, it's pretty obvious they all like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogu392 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 The easiest way is to make red wine. You just need a pale of must from California. I do mine every year. A lot cheaper ($3/bottle) that LCBO and free of chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Used to make beer. Now my parents and us split on merlot. Are there not any microbreweries in Yellowknife? Alot cheaper... if drinking in bulk. Man, up there that could be a goldmine business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
