[Sca-cooks] Stefan finally succeeds in making cider

[Samrah]

Not to mention that there are some states in the US, according to the head of our local brewing guild (she is very competent and I have no reason to doubt her), where any type of brewing activity is illegal.  Hard to believe, but true.  Had to do with the government's fear of losing tax revenue I believe.  Usually in areas that traditionally had a lot of moonshine going on.  Their brewing guilds only supposed have discussions of hypothetical brewing topics...  Very sad.

We have do various brews trying to replicate period possibles, spirits were 
uncommon so why is this done ?

most folks edge way from brewing and vintning - plus it's a fair bit
of work.

Having brewed most of my life generally I'd disagree there are odd moments 
of time involved but I know many SCA folk used to spend hours days months 
even on projects Compared to that dedication brewing is easy ;)
