My Label


I have a barley wine in primary that is around 4 days old...I will be adding a couple ounces of "Special Hops" when primary is complete...after soaking to remove nasty tannins/leafs taste...Heres my question should i add the "special hops" a couple days before bottling as stated here in this quote

"in the recipes section of the book, the **** ballyhooers recommend dropping the presoaked "Special Hops" into the secondary fermentor two to three days before bottling, so the alcohol that's built up can dissolve the water insoluble THC. This sounds sensible. Urifortunately, nowhere in the book could I find anything about the taste of this beer, surely an issue when many home brewers may worry that the resulting beer would taste like bong water. While I 've never tasted a "special Hopped" beer when it's brewed right, I am told on good authority that it has a nice sort of peppery flavor to it. And of course there are the aftereffects..."

Or add them during secondary and "age" them for a little...

This is an experimental beer so hopes aren't set to high!

[bob1852]

I wish you pot heads would take your conversations somewhere else.....

We do legal stuff here....

 

[Eden192]

Hey man, my brother-in-law is a state-sponsored grower out in Colorado and I think we'd both be interested in how this turns out. When it's done, or when you have more information on it, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks.

 

[GillandCo]

Not touchy at all. Just don't like these types of threads that are clearly against the purpose of this board....

It's illegal - we don't talk about it here. Clear?

 

[MrWiggles]

I hope I wasn't roped into AZ_IPA's "pot-head" group. I don't even smoke, gave it all up a long time ago for school/work/self improvement. But I think more than a few people have had this exact thought of 'is it possible?' Sure, this forum may not be the best place to find out but I think it's fairly harmless. He isn't going on about how great the herb is and how you should use it, he's just looking for a little info albeit in the wrong place. I'm sure someone over at grasscity(dot)com would know more about it than the people here. Although I will say you are right in assume the 'active oils' in the plant would dissolve more readily in the higher alcohol barleywine.
EDIT: you may have an easier time making a tincture in a neutral spirit and adding that to the secondary...just sayin.
DOUBLE EDIT: AZ_IPA, in california..it technically isn't illegal if you have the proper papers allowing it by state law. So he is more in a gray area rather than completely breaking the law.

 

[GillandCo]

This board is about beer correct? I understand about the Legality of everything...If you have a license it is legal...Technically

I don't smoke...But i would like to experiment with the effects of this...I can't, do the the random screenings my job does

 

[bob1852]

I was remiss in calling "you all" pot heads - I apologize....

But - this is a forum about beer making with legal ingredients......that is clear.

We frown on "weed beer" threads "distilling" threads or anything else illegal.

if you get randomly screened for your job...you would still fail if you drank an 'infused' beverage of this sort.

like drinking green beer LOL
meaning the young kind

 

[GillandCo]

Correct but there are other "beverages" that Detox anything of this substance out of you

 

[GillandCo]

Just thought i would ask some harmless questions, didn't know it would turn into a war zone!

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Wow... I tried a thread like this a while back and it got shut down hard. I'm surprised this is still up.

I've done it with a pumpkin ale. It's amazing! I got an ounce of the hop-cousin and (after taking a couple shots) stuffed it into a bottle of everclear. Let that sucker sit for 3 weeks, then strained it through a coffee filter. Added the "dragon's breath", as it's called, to bottling bucket at bottling time. It didn't taste bad at all and worked like a charm. Two bottles in a night was definitely enough.

Hope it works out for you.

 

[bob1852]

In my opinion, any time you have to pull out the "technically it's not..." card, then it doesn't belong on this forum; but maybe the mods believe otherwise....

Thanks for the PM reply, GillandCo! Best of luck!
