When making beer, can I add MJ at the time I add hops? Would the THC
|
||
|
|
dissolve in the beer and would it contribute to the high and taste of the
|
||
|
|
beer? How much pot is added to the wort(malt, hops and water mix)?

MJ can be added to the beer at the same time hops are added. THC is oil/
|
||
|
|
alcohol soluble and some of it will dissolve in the brew as it ferments.
|
||
|
|
Before being used for brew, the MJ should be thoroughly dried until
|
||
|
|
it is crispy. This activates all the THC by removing water molecules from
|
||
|
|
the THC molecules. Next the MJ should be gently washed by soaking it in
|
||
|
|
cold water for several hours. This removes some of the water soluble tars
|
||
|
|
and chlorophyll associated with the "grassy" taste of MJ injestables.
|
||
|
|
Nevil, of the Seed Bank, first discorved that when soaking in cold
|
||
|
|
water, some of the glands fall off the pot and collect on the bottom of
|
||
|
|
the container. These glands are so clean and free of plant debris, that
|
||
|
|
when smoked they produce hardly any smoke and only an "essence" of taste.
|
||
|
|
It's almost like smoking oil. Nevil also discovered that these glands can
|
||
|
|
be rolled into a very brittle "hash". However, this material melts easily
|
||
|
|
when heated, and does not re-solidify.
|
||
|
|
One easy way to handle the MJ is by using a giant nylon net "tea bag".
|
||
|
|
These are often sold in brewing stores.
|
||
|
|
It is hard to say how much MJ goes in the brew since different people
|
||
|
|
are sensitive to different amounts, and the quality of MJ varies greatly.
|
||
|
|
Years ago, the Unknown Brewer used to add one ounce shade leaves per
|
||
|
|
gallon of brew. This comes to about 1/10 ounce per bottle. Of course,
|
||
|
|
less high quality grass would be needed.

Personally, the only thing I know about beer brewing is that the finished
|
||
|
|
product is at my local supermarket. Please don'thold me responsible if
|
||
|
|
this just wastes your bud (this IS a pun (MOAN) :-). I hope this infor-
|
||
|
|
mation helps you. If you try it, let us know if it worked.
