Or, make a simple Blonde or Table Beer and dry hop with Sleepy Time.

These are my cheap beers of choice. National Bohemian is 6.97 + tax for a 12 pack. It’s a bit sweeter than PBR but less sweet than High Life. Molson Canadian is 12.00 + tax for 12. Very light, dry and clean. Some of my pals drink Hamm’s so I have one occasionally.

Chop n Brew did an episode featuring tea brews (beers).

I suggest you keep it simple. There’s so many herbs listed, it could just be a mess of flavors. I’d make a tea first to establish the herb combo you desire and wouldn’t mess with cbd or anything medical at this point. Hops could be EKG or Brewers Gold or Domestic equivalents.

I will be transferring the beer for cold crash this weekend, so we'll see if it's malt or yeast. Thanks for the advice about adding the dry malt as a late addition.

Nearly bottling time, the gravity sample's a bit watery and there's plenty of Dry Malt Extract in the bottom of the fermentation vessel. I should have boiled the late addition malt another 10 minutes. When will I learn? ;)

Brewing a partial mash version of this today. I substituted US Golding for the Willamette from extract version cause our questionable brew supply shop didn't have Willamette.

Now I see why the OP never returned to comment, hooch is right! My og was 1.010 and I thought, what the heck, it might ferment out. And, it did, down to 1.001. It is very watery and sour with little hops flavor. Since the first batch was unlikely to produce anything ale-like, I made a second...

Yeah, it's more like that science experiment you wish you had done as freshman chemistry project. I'm callin' it Bizarro Brew and I've taken up the torch. Here's what I'm working with for a 2 quart batch. 6 oz. Publicx Almond & Oat Cereal (I steeped this for an hour at 150.) Add -- 1.4 oz...

I can't help to wonder if this was an April Fools post delivered ten days late? There are many other options that could have been used for ingredients. Why not use some oatmeal or corn flakes to represent traditional beer ingredients? They may even increase the body. I would have increased the...

This definitely improves with age and some time in refrigeration, it is much less Heffe like and more of a Blonde Ale now. In fact, I used this as a base for a Dandelion Ale which I racked out of Primary today. After fourteen days the gravity is at 1.009 and there is very little Dandelion...

I have tried a few of these, they've been bottled for eight days. It fermented out to 1.010 but is more a Hefeweizen than a Blonde Ale. I'm putting the partial mash version into the batting line-up now.

I bottled this yesterday and it the hydrometer sample taste like a heffiweizen. This could be good either way. I brewed another batch of it today with a few variations which I'll share if it's worth drinking. I remembered to split the DME addition this time and the og was 1.050 once again.

After one week the gravity is down to 1.010, I will let it settle for another week then crash cool it and bottle. I'm going to use this recipe as the base for a Dandelion Ale which I may brew this Sunday.

Of course, I forgot to split the DME into two additions. The beer will be fine. It may not be blonde but it'll be a good beer. More updates as I continue to screw things up. My OG was 1.050, I am sure this is due to adding all the dme at once. The only sediment I had was hops and Irish Moss and...
