THC Beer

[clone63]

You could do it with bittering hops. I believe stove top teas are some people's go to for ingesting. Decarbing in boiling water takes a while so might work out well. Not sure how long it would stay potent though. Can't see it degrading too quickly..

Folks - DeCarbing is not a myth.
It is highly necessary for extracting the THC and CBD in a way in which it is it's most powerful.
Without it your final product will just not be as good as it can be.

I worked with a company last year that was attempting to storm the cannabis world with a sublingual powder that took effect in 5 min for most people but lasted for 4 hours like an edible. One of the guys involved showed me how they do it and it is found here right now: Potent Ponics

DGallo is spot on his analysis. This one is for him then - the guys I was working with took the dosage levels to .001. It was surreal.

For everyone who is thinking of putting their hard earned time and money into a drink to get high, please think again.
The numbers just do not add up unless you are a huge freaking company, and even then to me it is a waste of good product.

Now if you want to try to taste it?
Try injecting Terpenes into the beer or dry hopping with flower...

From what I understand that takes some of the cannaboids over , but not all of them and not the THC as it isn't water soluble, it would just pass through you for the most part.

I have made 2 batches. Its expensive and just turns out that you can save all the effort and add tincture at bottling. Not worth my time. But I had friends who thought it was absolutely amazing and cool.

I read more of the thread. Tincture then add exactly what you are aiming for at bottling. It likes to stick to the bottle some. But one 5mil dropper or 1.5 is plenty! Also using this you can add it to any beer you already have a good recipe for.

I tried adding in a steep at the end of a boil i am talking large amounts that was already De carbed. Caused the beer to oxidize really fast with little to no effect.

LOL, that's the problem with prohibition....i've seen pot plants on pot farms in N.Cal....3lb's of dry trimmed pot off just one plant.....hard earned money? hardly!

(i always figure that's why all you ever see in media is stupid indoors)


edit: maybe your money is hard earned....but not their's.....

I've wondered about cannabis for bittering. At least on home brew shop was selling hemp bud by the oz for $20 per iirc. Lots of cbd.

However, I harken back to my youth. Smoke the weed, drink the beer. It worked in the 70's and even in the 80's. No reason it wouldn't work now.

I’m considering doing this for about a dozen bottles when bottling time comes. Are you saying that 5ml from a tincture is plenty for a 5 gallon batch? I’m trying to figure out dosing to make this a mild experience... For a guy like me, there’s a real fine line between having fun and not having fun...

No. It completely matters how many mg of thc is in each mg. Without that information it’s all useless information

 

[danimal92sport]

Yes I’d be after like 2mg thc per bottle.

I suppose I just need to learn more about tinctures to figure that ratio out.

So let’s say you get a medical tincture that is 300 mg per 15 ml. That would be 20 mg per ml. So if you would theoretically need 5 ml of tincture for each of the 54 - 12 oz bottles to have roughly 2 mg per bottle.

so you can see the tincture’s total mg and total ml is what matters

 

[TwistedGray]

5mg should be your minimum. Anything less is likely going to just be a waste.

Unless he’s a 3 beer a night drinker and edibles effect him differently. I will throw this out there that I personally need at least 10mg lol

I believe I was using 1mil drops per 12oz. Not 5 mil..

I should add i had no way to figure out how much thc per drop i was adding.

That's fair. I am 9mg nothing and 10mg flying passion. It's weird...

I think that I read a while back about a brewery in Canada that was planning on giving it a try.

In 2018 I visited Roarchach Brewery in Toronto, and one of their folks was talking about doing this. There was yet some issue about commercially combining alcohol & THC, but recreational laws were still quite new then.

Has anyone ever brewed a thc beer? I just recently did and cant wait to try it out! Its just a 1 1/2 gal second pull batch with 4 grams of pure kief. Should be about 3% abv not sure the mg per 12 oz but yeah should be good

You mean THC as in weed beer? Yeah, I did that. Had a grower give be 6 plants worth of clippings and such. Stems too. Made a low hopped pale ale. I boiled all the weed stuffs and made a gallon of weed tea. Put it in the four gallons of pale ale in the secondary (five gallon recipe made as four gallons). Came out great. called it Stems and Seeds. Tasted really good and had a nice light aroma of some sweet sticky bud.

But did it make you crave Doritos?

With harvest season approaching, this is a timely topic. I once had a beer brewed with 8 oz of flower in a 10 gal batch and it tasted great but had no effect. You need to decarboxylate the THC and you might as well make and add a tincture. This video describes a ‘saison du chron’ that could be worth trying.

No. But it did make me want to make more beer.
