Hi everyone!! We have been brewing for years but just found this site and can always use tips and help. Looking forward to learning lots. We currently have wine, neutral alcohol base and a Irish cream ale brewing as well as recently purchasing our first kegerator.

Well it's quite easy to make, you start with 8kg of regular table sugar, turbo yeast, liquid carbon (optional but if you do not use it, your entire house will reek) and a 2 part turbo clear. It takes about 10 days and we run ours through a "water purification system" (wink, wink)and then through a granule carbon snake to remove any residual taste and smell. We get approximately 5-7 750ml bottles of 40% alcohol and 3-5 750ml bottles of 20% alcohol (for liqueurs). Pretty darn good for a cost of $30! We can then purchase flavours like vodka, rum, tequila, baileys, butterscotch liqueur, coffee liqueur, etc. Pretty much any that you can buy in a liquor store. You can check out the Still Spirits website for more details on flavours.

I am a fan of birdwatchers neutral recipe, Try https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=ch ... g%20canada" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Very good deals and a real smart guy. Homemade maple syrup Kahlua at double proof is my favourite, like you say it's too cheap not to experiment.
