I cannot imagine that wheat bran, tea, and that much table sugar fermented with Baker's yeast would taste anything like beer.

Do you carbonate this "beer"?

2brew1cup · 09-08-2011, 08:01 PM

Yes. I canbonate with vanilla karo. Who knew the homebrew world was full of such naysayers. Cant knock it till you try it I always say. Then again, I'm not so pretentious

I wouldn't say "naysayers," I think it's more that most of us aren't necessarily concerned with the absolute cheapest ways to get drunk... that's not what home/craft brewing is about. Sure, it's nice if you can save some money here and there, but that's not te be-all end-all.

Having said that, I wouldn't even consider this beer... a malted bevarage, perhaps, but that might even be pushing it.

I never said it was for a cheap drunk. We are in the beginning brewers area of this forum are we not? This is a cheap recipe for beginners to gain an understanding of the process. With an enjoyable end product. I never said youd make an award winning dunkel with this. Nor was anything but BUSH BEER implied

I believe it takes all kinds in the homebrewing community. I appreciate your experimentation and it would be good to try this to know how to do it if ever the need arose. I am currently on a pursuit to improve my process in the all grain arena and am turning out some pretty tasty beers, but one day knowing how to do a simpler style could come in handy - you just never know.

Thanks for the post and I wish you well in the world of homebrewing.

Sorry bit I dissagree. This "process" is off a bit. Aside from making sugar water and fermenting it, I think its nothing like making beer. I'd rather see a beginner making a prehopped Cooper's kit in a Mr. Beer.
