Yahoo! UK News Message Boards – Alcohol – Brew your own Wine, Beat the Tax

Ive got round the Booze Tax problem – Gordon gets Nowt from me – cos I make my own.

In September I collect about 25 kilos of elderberries and then from Sept to April I make about 20 gallons or nice red elderberry wine at about 12 – 15% alcohol. The only cost involved is the sugar, yeast and a few small additives. The total cost per gallon works out at about £1.80.

Then from April to the end of August I make Rice and Sultana wine but I have to buy those ingredients. The cost of a gallon of Rice and Sultana wine works out at about £3.50 – could be less if I manage to buy a load of short dated sultanas cheap.

Thus I can make about 40 gallons of wine each year and I pay No Tax whatsoever. Note 40 Gallons = 240 bottles and the combined cost per bottle of wine (strength 12 – 15%) to me is £0.44 pence.

I can make a beat that is continuous but it has no variation and its very boring. I understand how to use the patterns and simply make another beat that can be a fill but thats very tedious. Is there ANY other way? A simple method maybe? Help me save my music! lol thanks xD
