This thread is pure madness and insanity combined. I'm afraid to contribute anything meaningful to it. I just might be taken seriously. Afterall, I'm one "of-those-guys" that believes an OG should begin at 1.070 and go up from there.

Lol didn't even look at it that way..... per conversation on another thread the anal glands of beavers are supposedly expressed for raspberry flavoring. I do not know this for fact but hence the fruit beer reference. I guess I should have called it a berry beer that way Billy Klubb would have something to punch.
But back to my question. ... Would it be considered a "sweet produce" beer without any fruit only beaver secretions?
To be serious for a second: Yes, I've read about fruit flavorings from beaver glands (there's got to be another punchline in there). And I agree that anything fruit flavored would be fruit beer, whether it comes from real fruit or flavoring. (Waiting for the "well actually" about banana esters and such)
The real question is: How do you "harvest" a beaver butt, and what do you do with them when "brewing" alone?

it can and will be taken seriously. and, hopefully, used someday in a video spanning several liquor stores, home brew shops, and tap rooms.
The Castor gland in a beaver is located under the hide just under the tail. After the beaver has been skinned the gland becomes visible and can easily be removed with a good sharp knife. It is then hung to dry and sold by the pound.
This dried gland is then ground into a powder and added to many things you would rather not know about. LoL![]()
The yeast used in one of the original budweiser beer recipes was actually harvested from a yeast infection in 1891 when Adolphus Busch first obtained the name and trademark of Budweiser.
Someone is getting punked....![]()
hell, it might even end up being me! hahaha!
I still have not looked it up, but wouldn't milking the gland be more efficient than killing it and only getting one use of it?........ OK I had to look it up.... aged and used in perfume, once used in or as medicine and used as and list in ingredients as "natural flavoring ". Used as vanilla, strawberry and raspberry. Both male and female have them and you can get $10 to $40 each for them from the Ontario government.
Now my question is what in the he|| was going on in the mind of the guy who said "let's try this in some cookies and see if we can get the vanilla flavor out tat a$$!"
It's the gland that gives the flavor that is being sought out, not the oil from the gland, and the beavers are being harvested for their fur and meat, and because they cause billions of dollars of damage to timber assets every year.
If your going to kill the beaver anyway, you might as well use as much of it as you can.
Without being funny, beaver meat is very good to eat. Everyone I've ever known to try beaver meat like it. So eat your beaver!
Boy this thread certainly jumped both feet into the gutter fast.

You ever try to "milk" a beaver? Let me tell you, those bastards can BITE! :cross:

" ... besides the regulation of the brewing of beer, the Reinheitsgebot German Purity Law of 1516 originally included strict regulation of the manner in which a young man could lose his virginity.
Known as the JungerMann Purity Edict, it was required that a young man could only lose his virginity to a similarly virginal but licensed MilkMaid, and only by face-to-face congress; unless she was engaged in the cheddaring of curds in which case she could be addressed from behind, and as long as her apron did not become untied, the aspirants could consummate until the curd loaves had been completely stacked; at which time she was required to loudly and clearly declare: "ich bin gestapelt" (literally "I'm Stacked") at which time they could face each other "at will".
On the other hand, the Forestallment Clause (of the Act) states that if the MilkMaid was engaged with Cow at the time of the young man's approach, she could be legally allowed to free one hand, and with "substantially identical" manual action, forestall the disgorgement of her duties to his general satisfaction, OR until such time that the existing cow's udder being drafted with the other hand had been emptied.
The JungerMann Purity Edict of the Reinheitsgebot German Purity Law of 1516 was dropped when the supply of virginal milkmaids became scarce. This is believed to be largely due to the advent of vastly improved brewing technology."
I was skeptical about this at first, but then I realized it was in quotes.
Thanks for the info.
Back on topic:
The darker the beer, the more alcohol content it has.
The Native Americans used to brew light beer made entirely out of maize until they realized that the beaver gland could add some darkness to the color of the beer, thus upping the abv. The only reason whiskey was so popular after the Europeans settled was because it was, in fact, a much lighter and refreshing drink than the maize beaver brew they had been drinking for thousands of years.
