The Project host Michael Hing shocks as he confesses to taking part in ‘illegal’ hobby live on air
It’s something that a lot of Australian’s have tried out.
And now funnyman Michael Hing has stepped forward to admit that he too has had a go at brewing his own alcoholic beverages at home.
The 38-year-old comedian made the confession during Friday’s edition of The Project and joked his home brew of choice – vodka – was ‘probably illegal’.
Michael’s surprising revelation came during a segment about next month’s tax hike which will send the price of beer and spirits soaring.
Panelist Nick Cody suggested that since the cost of a pint of beer will rise to an average of $12, many drinkers may turn to ‘home brewing’ to save on cash.

After Nick admitted to trying to brew beer in his bathtub, co-host Susie Youssef asked Michael whether ever had tried doing it.
‘I had a crack making vodka,’ he said, adding: ‘also it may have been illegal.’
Currently, it is legal to distil spirits at home, though ‘home brewers’ of spirits are required to have a license.
Michael meanwhile joined the line-up of Australian current affairs show The Project late last year.

He left Triple J last year after three years of hosting the radio station’s popular drive show, Hobba and Hing with Lewis Hobba.
Michael is also the former host of the ABC programs Good Game: Pocket Edition and Good Game Well Played.
In August, the popular celebrity wed his sweetheart Humyara Mahbub in a Bengali ceremony on Sydney Harbour.
The pair looked resplendent in traditional attire as they exchanged vows by the water surrounded by family and friends.
