Date: 2003-11-21 12:32 pm (UTC)Brewing beer takes less effort than making an Ashiko, and you do not have to wake up before the crack of noon to do it.
Get malt & yeast from B&B,
heat up water/malt mixture, let it cool, (this pasteurizes it)
add yeast, put into bucket/bottle with a simple airlock. (starts fermentation)
wait a few days. (Kreb's Cycle - Sugar to Alcohol, Botany 101)
Drink flat, or mix a little sugar in and bottle for a week.
You can make 3 cases of any ale for about $13-$15. Whee!
