Sparkling Drinks Basics

It’s brewing in its simplest form – creating a sparkling drink by introducing yeast to a fruity/flowery/vegetable-based sugar solution and allowing the concoction to ferment is the easiest and quickest way to acquaint yourself with the magical art of home brewing.

The recipes in this section go to show that with a bit of imagination and inclination, there are endless fizzy concoctions just waiting to be made. In the hands of an aspiring brewer, a small pack of yeast will take you on your own booze odyssey, which will have you scouring hedgerows, allotments and food cupboards in search of potential fermentables.
