Sounds and looks pretty cool, but think I'll stick to the 'tried and tested' bottles from the supermarket.

Even if you can make your own brew? Come on man..........throw a little Bourbon in with it and you got a "Depth Charge" as they are known in the US. That means get a pint of brew and a shot of bourbon (in a shot glass). Dump the Bourbon (shot glass and all) into the pint of beer and voila......all the girls will instantly look prettier........unless you're in Arkansas. Doesn't work there.
Arkansas is where if a man and a woman get divorced one needs to ask.............are they still brother & sister?

i have my own home brew recipe for beer and wine,all the necessary things available in any saudi arabian supermarket. non alcoholic beer and grape fruit juice yeast and sugar and plenty of bottle water. i enjoyed my working time in the kingdoms airports, but not so much when the gulf wars were going on, but i managed till they passed.

I don't know about automatic beer makers but I do know you can buy some very impressive alcohol kits here to make your own.

I remember my brother-in-law, who was 17 at the time brewing beer in the basement of the old farmhouse in Iowa. I guess you are supposed to keep it at a certain constant temperature, hence the use of the basement. Well that, and his mother would never find it.
As it warmed up outside I was delegated (means told to do it) to mow the grass, so I went into the basement from the outside (steep stairs going down), pulled out the lawnmower and mowed about 3 acres of yard. I put the mower back and closed the outside hatch.
About an hour later while sitting in the living room (directly over the brewery) we all heard loud popping and crashing noises. My brother-in-law instantly knew what happened (I know this because he stood up rapidly and yelled "Oh Shit"). He went down to the basement and found every bottle of brew had exploded because of the heat that I let in the basement while mowing the yard.
To me, it was hilarious. To my mother-in-law............not so much.

A "REFLUX ALCOHOL STILL"? I'd use a different name than Reflux.............has bad connotations on this side of the pond.

Do you know why some homes in the USA have basements, and why some don't?

Reflux can be a medical condition here but the word can be used in different contexts.
Love this bit from the ad:
DON'T BUY SOME IMPORTED PIECE OF DUNG THAT
LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP KETTLE
OR A DEFECTIVE DALEK.
SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT SOME OF THEM, THEY LOOK LIKE
A COOKING POT FROM CHEAP PETE'S
WITH A BIT OF COPPER COIL IN IT.
I SAW ONE WITH THE AUSSIE FLAG IN THE AD
BUT THE KETTLE HAD A STICKER WITH CHINESE WRITING ON IT.
THEY FORGOT TO TAKE THE STICKER OFF
BEFORE CLAIMING IT WAS AUSTRALIAN.
WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS!

It took me a long time to figure out what the word "Bollocks" meant................only in the Commonwealth.  |

Lucky he didn't bring the house down!! I wish homes here had basements, it would be so useful. I found this link. I think you would like one of these!
