What's your favorite stout or any beer?

Home Brew!Or failing that, any of Britain's fine real ales. Or Frambosenbier.

It has Aspartame in it.

Aspartame is not a chemical I want floating around in my body. Among other things: it's an appetite enhancer (great idea in a diet drink, guys!) and it breaks down to form methanol and formaldehyde.

I do!Various beers, and cider.

I'd not heard of that, but I'm English so it might just have not travelled. Freeze distilling is quite possible (and considerably more legal and safe than heat distillation for home use) and effective.I'm called Mr. Jack because that is actually my name. Half my RL friends call me Mr. Jack.I buy my supplies from an on-line store Hop Shop UK, but obviously you'll want a US-based supplier - I hear good things of Northern Brewer.
