- When making beer, can I add MJ at the time I add hops? Would the THC
- dissolve in the beer and would it contribute to the high and taste of the
- beer? How much pot is added to the wort(malt, hops and water mix)?

- MJ can be added to the beer at the same time hops are added. THC is oil/
- alcohol soluble and some of it will dissolve in the brew as it ferments.
- Before being used for brew, the MJ should be thoroughly dried until
- it is crispy. This activates all the THC by removing water molecules from
- the THC molecules. Next the MJ should be gently washed by soaking it in
- cold water for several hours. This removes some of the water soluble tars
- and chlorophyll associated with the "grassy" taste of MJ injestables.
- Nevil, of the Seed Bank, first discorved that when soaking in cold
- water, some of the glands fall off the pot and collect on the bottom of
- the container. These glands are so clean and free of plant debris, that
- when smoked they produce hardly any smoke and only an "essence" of taste.
- It's almost like smoking oil. Nevil also discovered that these glands can
- be rolled into a very brittle "hash". However, this material melts easily
- when heated, and does not re-solidify.
- One easy way to handle the MJ is by using a giant nylon net "tea bag".
- These are often sold in brewing stores.
- It is hard to say how much MJ goes in the brew since different people
- are sensitive to different amounts, and the quality of MJ varies greatly.
- Years ago, the Unknown Brewer used to add one ounce shade leaves per
- gallon of brew. This comes to about 1/10 ounce per bottle. Of course,
- less high quality grass would be needed.

- Personally, the only thing I know about beer brewing is that the finished
- product is at my local supermarket. Please don'thold me responsible if
- this just wastes your bud (this IS a pun (MOAN) :-). I hope this infor-
- mation helps you. If you try it, let us know if it worked.
