I made my first batch of homemade alcohol, a 7.5% cider from store juice and sugar, and it wasn't great by any means, but it certainly wasn't bad.
We kicked the keg in 3 days...
To be fair, this was with a bunch of friends who were helping me build a fence that weekend, but it still went surprisingly quick, especially as that was not the only thing consumed that weekend. My kreezer is down for painting and collar addition so I can have proper taps instead of party taps, but I'm slightly worried as to our increased alcohol consumption when it's back up and running with real taps.
I've got another 7.5% cider in a keg ready to go, 5.5% and 8% cider batches going downstairs and a 5.5% pale wheat beer that should be ready to keg, so no immediate shortage of things to dispense when we get up and running again.
