OK, since we're debating, anyone here do any home brewing? And if so, what's your specialty and why?

Me, I have a penchant for homebrew wines. Thus far I've done a Green Apple Reisling, Blackberry Cabernet, traditional Chianti, and currently have a Mango wine in the middle of the bulk-aging stage (should be in-bottle the beginning of September); right now the mango tastes close to a German Leibsfraumilch, with the fruity finish.

As to why, once you get started, it's amazing how cheap it is to make. And it's the hit of any party....
