Free I got my demijohns from freecycle but you can get a 5 litre water bottle from Asda etc for a couple of quid then all you need is a bung and airlock. The health shop on Oxton road has all the stuf you need as well as Willkinsons.
And you can make any fruit juice into alcohol pineapple cider is a good summer drink with a kick :)I dont see why you cant use bannana and apple only prob I can see is it might not clear but try it and see.

We had a clear out recently and took some demijons to the charity shop.They said that they didn't want them as wouldn't be able to get shut.As my husband walked back out with them a passer by asked if he could have them.Great,at least they went to a good home. Wait now, I'm affraid that's not the end of the tale.
A few days later I went to Tesco and they have them on sale for almost a fiver!!!
Bit short sited of the charity shop I think.
End of tale!!!

I remember when brewing was made 'legal' in about 1969, The market was flooded with Geordie and Scouser brew kits. They produced five gallons of cloudy flat liquid that did not resemble the stuff in the pub but it got u blind drunk. How times have chnged. Some of the kits now are better than the pub stuff.
