Some time back I said I would make a thread about this....well since I am down to my last 4 bottles , now would be a good time, I will update this thread as I am actually doing it.
So, first thing you need to do is (assuming you have some brewing kit already)
purchase a kit or get all the bits separately, I used to get mine from a brewing shop in Hougton Le Spring but now I get it from ebay and at the same time I usually get my topshelf spirit concentrates as well, which is always
Southern haze, Vodka, Irish whiskey and Dry vermouth, Southern haze being my favorite as it is amazingly close to Southern comfort....all can be had from this ebay shop... here is a link

This is an awsome price especially as it includes 11kg of monohydrate dextrose or brewing sugar to you or me, if you want a nice clean taste then this is the stuff to use....ordinary granulated sugar is crap...I've tried it.
What you will need to end up with 5 gallon of alcohol is .....a 5 gallon brewing bucket some sterilizing solution a piece of siphon tubing and bottles or containers to store the finished product in. I always use an aquarium heater to to keep the wash at a stable temp of 24 -25 centigrade but it not essential.
Well I ordered my kit from ebay yesterday so I should have it by Mon/Tuesday and that's when we shall start and I will do it stage by stage and day by day.
