My future FIL gave me an ancient homebrewing book a couple months ago, and I've glanced at it now and again for laughs. It's terribly outdated, and generally misinformed about a number of things. However, I didn't realize just how BAD it truly was until I started looking at some of the recipes. My favorite (i.e. the worst) one has got to be this:
Brown Ale #2
2 lbs roasted barley
2 lbs black patent
4 lbs white sugar
4 oz hops
2 tsp salt
1/2 oz citric acid
yeast
nutrient
I hope all the other EACs out there find this as ridiculous as I do. BTW, the book is *chuckle* Home Brewing Without Failures: How to Make Your Own Beer, Ale, Stout, and Cider by H. E. Bravery.
