I've been making small (gallon or two) batches for several years. A 
small batch doesn't seem to require much in preparation for me except 
buying a couple 2-lb. jars of honey, and making sure I have lemons around.

I've always been a fan of do-it-yourself alcohol. ;-) I was eyeing a 
juice press at the homebrew shop this weekend, and thinking about cider 
and about growing grapes.
