That's for "Flat Ass Tired", a kind of clone of Fat Tire, only so rich that my adult nephews call it "dinner in a bottle". Cheaper if you use less barley, but then less flavor, body, alcy. You know my motto, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing".
Or my peach wine, about $1/liter when peaches are 50¢/pound.
Fruit wines are cheap to make, since the fruit has so much flavor that you water it down, and add sugar. Even cheaper if you can cajole free fruit. Or grow your own, like my Prickly Pears. So far, I've made Lo-quat (the best wine EVER), Plum, Pear, Prickley Pear, and even got a batch of table grape going. Not much flavor, I should have fermented with the peels. A friend is bringing me a couple buckets of Tokay grapes this week, I think I'll run them through the meat grinder and ferment the shredded peels and all.
Between beer, wine, and sauerkraut, I'm on my 32nd batch. And the only one that went sour was the kraut. ;^)
Anybody got any 2-3 gallon glass jugs/jars? Plastic buckets work well in early stages, later you want to be able to see the sediment.
