Homebrewing counts as "Arts & Crafts"?
Aurjay:
I think im gonna try that next time. The extracts were ok but it kinda took all the guesswork out of it and just made it kinda plain. Think the whole point of homebrewing is experimenting and not sure you can do that with extracts.

I have several friends who make their own beer, wine, and mead. I've helped them a couple of times, and attended workshops they've done as church fundraisers, but I haven't had a chance to do my own just yet.

I haven't worked myself up to doing an all grain batch yet, but the added control seems like a lot of fun. Extracts are alright for what they are, but laying down $25 for a batch's worth (even though it'll still be cheaper than store-bought beer) gets to me a bit. What I'd really like to find - I'll order online for my next batch, I think - are intact hops, if only for the fact that the pellets disintegrate into this goo and make straining out the wort a right bitch.

I just tried out my last honey beer and it blows a punch, having about 7% alcohol you get a couple of pints and youll start feeling funny :P
All-grain is quite cheap, I spend half money in a 20 liter batch than I'd have to spend for 20 litres of commercial beer. And tastes better :D

What about brewing your own cola? I'm not really a fan of beer, but have become sort of a soda/cola snob recently (fenitman's curiosity cola is the best thing I have ever had) and i figure the base idea is similar, formulating flavors and whatnot, but instead of adding yeast, I carbonate it with a bit of dry ice. What are your tips for ingredients and combinations for something fairly sweet?
