Australia sells itself abroad as being laid back.

Close inspection reveals that it isn't and perhaps is the most illiberal English speaking country in the world.

What's funny is that a box wine (5 liters) made in Australia costs 11 bucks in Texas.

Sooo they really think these people that they're targeting won't get it somehow? Pft. I admit I like wine and beer. Home brew it. The cheap store bought stuff gives me headaches anyway because of the preservatives in it. It tastes better made at home and its probably better for you as well.

Lots of people in the US brew their own wine and beer. Its probably different in other countries though. Distilling liquor is illegal though.

Re: BREAKING: Poor people banned from drinking wine in Australia!
for you poor ausies


orange spice mead
9kg honey
6 large oranges sliced into large pieces. leave skin on
6 handfuls if raisins
2 tablespoons each of
cinnamon
nutmeg
allspice
1 teaspoon clove
small packet of fleischmann's traditional yeast

need an air tight bucket (6 us gallons) with a hole in lid for a stopper with an air trap. (use the 2 piece ones because the 1 piece ones clog easily)

put honey in bucket. add water to make a total of 6 us gallons
mix very well

add all other ingredients and yeast cover and let ferment until it drops clear. about 2 months (yes its a ling time but it partially ages it as well. siphon into another container set sit for 2 weeks then bottle.

a bit bitter at first but drinkable. aged for 1 year it gets very smooth.

average cost per batch is $3 cdn per bottle.

Champagne yeast is better if you can get it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23478607


might not work since this formula was worked out that yeast specifically. fleischmann's traditional yeast is very tolerant of less than optimal conditions. its a good one for first time brewers. I recommend they just follow this until they become more proficient before experimenting.

failed batches can get expensive.

TOO COMPLEX!

Done.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25493347
