I came accross this interesting story about expats in Libya in the 1970s getting around the ban on alcahol by home brewing. The ingredients were a bit limited.
Home Brew
Here's the recipe (fermented in a plastic rubbish bin):
30 litres of water
2 kilograms of sugar
1 large tin of Maltexo
1 teaspoon of hop extract
1 teaspoon of yeast
The sugar, Maltexo, and hops were brought to boiling in a few litres of water and added to the rest of the water in the brewing container. The yeast was then sprinkled on top and that was it.
