Then order a decent kit and get going? You're a single dude, that makes a pretty great argument for making your own beer.

They all got their permits, they're not bending the rules. They're selling grains and yeast and other stuff used to produce foodstuffs. There's literally no grey area, it is legal. BrewMart have gone through several revisions of their permits now. It's all above board.

There's enough yeast. Trust me, there's enough yeast. Unless you filter with commercial beer filtering equipment, you stabilize with chemicals or your pastuerise your beer, there will be enough yeast willing to do the job in the final product.

There wasn't. At least not living yeast. I ended up running it though the soda stream.

One and a half glasses in and my ears are warm

Straw wine ahoy... I plan on splitting the batch and in order to use the tannin on a litre to assess the feasibility of making a drinkable wine.
The rest is for pot stilled brandy, which I hope will work out.
If it does, then I will try scale up to 1 x 25 litre vessels... If anyone has any personal experience making straw wine, advice would be appreciated.
Aside from that, I got a few kilograms of raw eucalyptus honey from the Western Cape delivered earlier.

Then you did something wrong, or didn't give it enough time. There's enough yeast. You can't get rid of yeast just by letting it settle. If that was the case, massive breweries wouldn't spend millions on special filtration equipment to get rid of it. They'd just...wait. Yeast lives in crystal clear homebrews for years.

It's been bottle "fermenting" for four+ days now. There ain't no active yeast left in it.

more likely no sugar left?

I added 1/2 teaspoon to each 440ml bottle, which should have been enough.

Like I said, something else is wrong. There is active yeast. You can harvest yeast from beer that's been clarified and standing in a cupboard for years. It's possible that your yeast entered a new lag phase and are first busy replicating and recovering before working on the sugars. Cold front isn't helping either.
