I have a friend who makes a little whiskey on his stovetop every now and again.I was at his house and he was making what I will assume was still beer a while back. He showed me the process,which was a lot like steeping grain,I think,except he said it would take two weeks to be ready,and I should come back and try a drink before he cooked it up into something a little (read a lot) stronger. That was last summer,before I got interested in making beer,but I got to thinking recently,what if I took his brew (still beer?),and used that and some malt to make my beer? What would I wind up with? I cant remember his recipe as we were imbibing on storebought beer and a taste of his creation,but it could have been chop feed. like I said,I dont remember. Anyone ever tried this before? if so,how did it turn out? How would one figure out what exactly to do,as it seems to me,if he had to wait 2 weeks for it to be ready to distill,wouldnt it already be done fermenting? Again,This might just be a dumb question,but us newbies have to learn. as I once heard,"inquiring minds want to know".
