Barebones Beer

So I guess the thing that amazes me is how forgiving the brewing process is. I stumbled upon this article in Mother Earth News a few weeks ago and just found it again. It gives a pretty basic DIY recipe and process for homebrewing. Its basically a hopless beer where the only ingredients are baker's yeast, malt extract, plain old sugar, and tap water.

This dude probably flavors his coffee with stump water!

Click here for the article... its bizarre. We should try it once to compare resutls

The guy says that the beer probably wouldn't impress a conoisseur, but that he thinks it is "highly drinkable" and his friends agree. I'm intrigued... of course I bet his friends do think that a free beer is highly drinkable. He says that his beer costs him between 5 and 10 cents a bottle to make (this is in 1979 dollars)
