You should try a cider supper easy. Unicorn blood is good 5 gal of pasteurized apple cider or juice with no additives thats important. Even with no suger you will be around 6 abv add a few pound of cherrys and your in buisness.

It took me a few batches to brew anything acceptable, a year to brew anything professional quality.
Study and practice will improve your beer.

The first instruction for every new brewer should be..... "Stop, don't even think about brewing, and don't buy anything, until you've determine how you are going to control fermentation temperature." There are lots of low cost ways to do this but most newbies don't really understand how important it is.

I was lucky and had good teacher from the start so my beer has always been something I'm proud to offer friends.
