Okay, so I can't be the only one who read the BYO article this month and thought making a Steinbeer sounded cool. For those that didn't read, it involved heating rocks in a fire, and using them to bring your wort to a boil. Stein is German for stone, I believe. It instantly caramelizes some sugars, so should provide a unique flavor. I kind of like doing ancient brews/methods, so I thought this sounded like a fun idea to try. Has anyone else done this before? The article in the current BYO didn't provide a recipe, but I found this old one (from 2001) that did.
