    Two very good sites for all your home brew needs. My buddy uses the Mrbeer site to get all his supplies. I've tasted his brews...man they are good. As for wine, the other site should be helpful. I've here of people usin git with good results

    My dad used to brew wine when I was younger. They never really drank much of it because both my parents don't drink alcohol very much, but they might have a glass with dinner 2 - 3times per week. My father bought a kit from one of those sites and just ordered supplies as needed. Look in the phonebook for "beer making supplies" "home brewing" or any combination that you can think of. Most cities will have shops that sell Kits or supplies so you might be able to get it locally also.

    Some of the wines my father brewed were intense. You can get alcohol resistant Yeast that will ferment well past 16% alcohol and get something called a "booster' which is basically pure suger that you mix in to give it one last kick. I think he brewed one batch that was around 19%. Strong stuff, didn't taste all that great but it warmed the stomach I'll tell ya that. Otherwise, you can make blueberry, raspberry, blackberry wines...they all taste good

    Very easy. Get a cup of mixed fruit, let it sit in the sun for 1 week, make sure that it's boiling with bubbles, then you'll know it's good . After the one week, get a Super thick garbage bag, fill it half ways with Orenge juice, apple juice. Then put all that mixed fruit from the cup into the bag. also put a whole lot of jolly Ranchers 50 or more, close the bag very tight. let it sit. The bag should start to inflate with air, that air is like hitting a wippid. let the air out when it get full. Continue that for another week, then you should have PRUNO. Very tasty and get's you drunk on 3 or 4 cups, I learned how to make it in Jail.

    I have made plenty of wine over the years ...... some good ..... some not so good!! The most important thing is to ensure that all your equipment is clean and sterilised. Good luck with your brewing. It can be a fun and rewarding hobby!!!
