These days I experiment with sugar brews. I used to make mead but anything other than the bottom shelf supermarket honey became too expensive. Over $10 per litre for mead I have to put all the work into and which might suck in the end just doesn't appeal to me.

So now I've got a hard lemonade, a hard limeade and a pseudo-ale going, all cane sugar based. I expect the lemonade will be drinkable, the other two might be going down the sink, who knows. It's only about a dollar in materials down the drain if it sucks.

But I am also considering getting one of those small capacity electric pot stills and making wacky experimental things with it, like the YT channel Distill It.
