Homebrew

Breaking the spell of silence since April 27. Many blogs I came across contain so much apologies for having a big gap between the last and current post, that's the same goes for yours truly. For instance, Matt's blog, http://jam-page.blogspot.com. Fella has so many "I'm sorry haven't been blogging, busy" entries. Can this leave a misrepresentation that bloggers are non busy people and put it those who apologizes shows they have better things to do than blog? Therefore, no apologies from moi, I just decide not to until today. Why?

Yep, got excited with my first 10 bottles of 'goodness'. (Wickedly laughing). Recently embark on the adventure of home-brew. Practically new to me but theoretically been researching it since 2003. Just like the laziness - more important things to take care off, couldn't get it off the ground. Then met a dive buddy, who is a multi-resourced entrepreneur, introduce me to a "wonder-bucket" that simplifies many of the tedious process in traditional brewing got me on.

Simply add everything into the bucket (must), wait few days, then rack it and store by chilling it. Once placed into the fridge, the fermentation process slows down to a halt and sediment builds at the bottom over a period of 2 weeks.

Filtration is done one more round to get an almost translucent juice of 'goodness'. Fairing between 7% to 7.8% alcohol content and not yet near wine or worst cider state, this fruit juice from my POV, is safe to consume.

Three qualities of discipline must be adhere at all times i.e. patience, sterilization and abstinence. Yep, self control from drooling into the bucket while it ferments, helps by cover mouth when working at it daily. Saliva kills man. It's dangerous.

Therefore, I am proud to present the first 10 bottles of "Can-B-Anything" juice drink. I wonder it'll sell? Only one way to find out. Wish me luck.

Oh yah, I'm back...watch for updates because since April, I 've;
