A popular hobby here in Canada is homebrewing beer from kits. These consist of a can of malt extract, yeast and instructions. Usually the instructions call for the addition of 2 kilos of sugar. However honey works very well and the finished beer is very palatable. I use an hydrometer to adjust the potential alcohol to my liking ( 5 - 6%) The best kits I have found are from Australia - Coopers. Their STOUT - a dark beer- is very good.
