My first wife is Italian and her father made gallons of his home brew red poison. He made his own wine press and did it all in the garage. To my knowledge he didn't use any heat to start the fermenting process but his wine was almost always drinkable. He never had any explosions at least lol

i made 5 gallons of homebrew once , pepped it up by putting loads more suger in the bottles for the secondary fermentation , put all the bottles in the airing cupboard , 2 days later about 2 in the morning it was like the opening of the Somme offensive , bottles exploding all over the place , she who must be obeyed wasnt very amused

Many moons ago I did the that 'little extra good luck' bit of sugar trick.

I used Newcastle Brown Ale bottles and crown corked them.

Yes it blew the bottoms out of 90% of the bottles

Mind the few that survived were nice and clear, until I opened the top - Mount Vesuveus didn't have a look in.

So all in all, that batch was a total waste of time

My ex did the extra sugar bit too. Bottles blew up in the cupboard he grabbed the nearest thing to hand to mop it all up ... my newly washed and ironed duvet set, he then panicked and put it into the washing machine in a great ball before I got in from shopping .... the new hand made tea-pot I had been given as a Christmas present got vibrated off the top of the washing machine with the said 'ball' of bedding battering about inside it.

I came home to carnage too. Broken glass, pottery, beer swill and stinky bedding greeted me.

I've never made home brew, my nightmares have always been after drinking other's home brew....about 20 years ago had a heavy sesh on home-made wine at a friends, felt fine as paint, stood up, walked out the door and managed one step before measuring me length in a huge puddle....fortunately my mates were waving me off else I'd probably have drowned in an inch and a half of rainwater....to this day I don't remember them getting me back in the house but I woke the next morning on their sofa with the mother, father and about 14 children's worth of hangovers.....been very careful with home brew since

Instant idiot - just add alcohol

P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

Left 2 pressure barrels of cider unattended for a long weekend in Gt. Yarmouth, only 1 with any contents in on our return. No explosion, the bottom had split & the other was starting to develop a worrying bulge.
