We talked about it...some people feel that that and malta goya are cheating...I don't agree...If your grocery store has it then why the heck not...it's not going to be quite the same as brewers malt syrup, so it may be interesting to brew with it anyway.

Okay, so tried my hand at the traditional(-ish) Zulu Beer.
as found in most South African grocery stores
the malted sorgum and yeast
the mash, malted sorghum enzymes turn maize starch into sugars
then you wait a day and boil it, wait a day, filter and bottle (or actually put in traditional clay pot)
after a day or so in the bottle

this stuff smells nasty! like ass actually, but what does it taste like? i was actually a bit too scared, but finally tried it:
it smells kinda like fermented pineapple, it tastes a bit sour. i would not drink this for fun, only if there were really NO other beer anywhere!
the grrfriend agrees, not tasty, but not too bad either.
my friend heino does NOT like it!
who knows, maybe if i bottled and refrigerate it it will taste better, but that's not how the Zulus drink it...
also, i dont know why it's so yellow instead of the red/pink sorghum beer is supposed to be? maybe i squished it to hard and too much of the maize's white slime went into the mix when i strained/filtered it?
oh well.

I'm thinking malted corn, plantain, oat and rice beer
Only in this crazy thread could a statement like this be taken seriously...and it's all very interesting! Sucks the success rate has been a bit dismal so far, though, but definitely has me interested in hitting up Kroger on my way home.
One question: without hops, aren't these post-apocalypse brews much more susceptible to infection?

Probably...though some herbs do have antiseptic properties as well...either way it will be best consume them young....

I think if we boost up the alcohol content a little bit it really shouldn't be a problem, I mean, how long do we store apfelwein? that doesn't have hops or other herbs in it. The same could be said about wines and gruits which don't use Hops. The move to hops way back in the day wasn't entirely due to it's antiseptic properties if you check the history books. This was a time before germ theory and proper sanatation tecniqus.

I decided to make only a small 1 gallon test batch of this. So that if it was horrid I could just throw the whole thing at a grand cost of about $5
9 fl. oz. Regular Molasses
1Tbsp Strawberry Jelly
2 Shakes Smoked Paprika
2 Tbsp American Oak Chips
4 fl. oz. Flaked Oats
1 Packet Montrachet.
I heated the water to 155 and added the oats and let them steep for 30min. Then I poured in the molasses while stirring as to not burn the pan like last time. Smoked Paprika and Oak chips went in right before I funneled this into the growler bottle. I didnt boil because I wanted to see the effect of the smoked paprika. This tastes really good. Almost like smokey candy.
