Notice the lack of hops? That recipe would create some "alkeyhall", but I am glad I don't have to drink it.

But it is "hop flavored"!

Good reason to "prohibit" that beer??

I'm going to make a half-batch just for the halibut.

Get a gallon jug and use that. I can't imagine you would want more then that!

I like the "sugar" ingredient. The type seems not to matter.
Thanks for sharing!

That's probably a good idea. Then with the exception of a few crown caps, the cost would be the same.

I guess I could always designate this beer as OP beer. OP being "other people." A now deceased good friend of mine, who used to smoke store bought cigs in the navy during WWII, would keep OP cigs with him. When someone would want to bum a smoke from him, he would pull out a bag of Bugler (or whatever they had back then) and some rolling papers, and hand that to them.... LOL
