Why don't you have a few gallons of alcohol brewing right now?
Because I'm not a NEET and I can buy my own booze.

I do.
6 gallons of kit wine, 2 different gallons of mead, 2.5 gallons of makgeolli, and 1 gallon of choujiu.

But that tax though. Jesus fucking christ the beer tax kills me brah.

You can also just buy your own food ready cooked.

I remember that was a pre-reddit /ck/ general, not anymore.

because i just finished bottling my black IPA. Gonna brew up another 5 gallons of hefeweizen soon so i'm ready for the warm weather

i have a kegerator of apfelwein and ~8 gallons aging.
Its decent, accidentally did 4 gallons apple juice and 2 pounds dextrose ended up much stronger than expected. not in a bad way, just a one large glass gets you strongly buzzed
can't be assed to build a stovetop still and I can't afford the calories in mead or cider or beer given the amount i drink.
I can't make better or cheaper moonshine than industrial scale vodka so fuck it.
because im not a weirdo who home fements shit. That is legitimately dangerous if not done properly and somewhat expensive to start and takes too long
Any tips on getting started? What the easiest to not fuck up?
Assume I have no gear either.

you can easily get in for under 100$ and most of the equipment is reusable. as long as you follow SIMPLE sanitation procedures you wont have any issues.
>>7436983
find a recipe that you want to make. follow it.
There is a ton of material available online instructions wise, its pretty simple.
cider/apfelwein is pretty easy to do, requires even less work than beer, but it is better to age it longer.
If you have the money and think you will keep up the hobby get glass carboys. if not, a 5 gallon water jug works pretty well.
Anyone here distill before?
>>7436956
the fuck are you talking about? brewing isn't dangerous at all you're thinking of distillation. at worst you'll make something disgusting
Because im homeless and have no where to put a brew. Used to do it a few years ago before my wife left and took every thing.
Is there an easy guide to this?
>>7437212
Its pretty easy. Just expect to have to wait two months before the beer actually tastes any good. Easy to buy beer kits second hand for dirt cheap. Its the kinda thing people buy try once and give up. So there's some bargains to be had.
>>7436263
because I make moonshine
>>7436990
Is there anything low in carbohydrates/sugar that tastes good that can be made, or is this essentially impossible?
I do. In my toilet. Sugar, yeast, Value Time grape juice and pinesol for that extra kick.
>>7436263
because i'm waiting
>>7436263
Oh Yeah!
She's bubbling away nicely.
>>7437255

>fermenting sugar is dangerous
Exactly how fucking stupid are you?
>>7436263
20 gals of cream ale fermenting right now, other 20 lagering and another 3 bottled :^)
I changed brands and this last batch came out amber color instead of pale so it's not commercially viable, probably the pH of the new brand (Avangard, was trying to see if I could cut some costs) was not low enough so I'll stick with Briess.
>>7437255
Most dry beers like lagers have very little sugars remaining after fermentation, alternatively you could mash at lower temps so more fermentable sugars are converted, also adjuncts such as rice contribute to dryness.
Mead can go completely dry as honey is completely fermentable, I've read about mead with final gravity less than 1.00.
