Apparently, the downside to this home brew lark is that his flat would end up both looking and smelling like a brewery. Home brew was also responsible for many early deaths in the area. One time, with a particularly potent batch of banana wine, it was so powerful that one woman got herself so utterly inebriated (legless) that she fell over as she tried to walk out of her front door and broke both of her legs. She would never walk again.
My dad used to specialise in home brew back in the 80's. He would brew some of the most potent ales and wines in his home town. Typically the local alcoholics would flock to buy as much of the stuff as they could possibly afford. Recalling his many anecdotes, he would produce some of the most peculiar flavoured wines, from banana to his personal favourite, carrot and rose-hip. He tells me that the best fruit to use is that which is especially ripe - almost at the point of decomposition.
