Sumerian Beer
(5 gallons/19 L)
OG = 1.062 FG = 1.009 ABV = 6.9%
Ingredients
4.5 lbs. (2.0 kg) Weyermann rauchmalz (smoked malt)
3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg) bappir (beer bread)
1.5 lbs. (0.68 kg) rice hulls
1.5 lbs. (0.68 kg) honey
1 gallon (3.8 L) date wine
Step by Step
Make the date wine (see below), then bake the bappir (see below) one or two days later. Let bappir cool overnight. The next day, add crushed malt and crumbled bread to your kettle. Mash in to 131 °F (55 °C) with 3.0 gallons (11 L) of water. Immediately begin slowly heating the mash to 156 °F (69 °C), stirring constantly, then rest at 156 °F (69 °C) for 45 minutes. Heat mash to 170 °F (77 °C) and transfer it to your lauter tun. Stir in rice hulls. Let sit for 5 minutes, then recirculate briefly and run off wort to kettle. Collect 4.0 gallons (15 L) total. Boil for 15 minutes, then cool to 70 °F

The last time I had beer was a couple of months ago. I only drank half a beer. Before then it had been a long time since I had any. Believe it or not, only half a beer gave me a buzz. This was a can. I felt ashamed when it gave me a buzz because I believe that drunkenness is sinful. It definitely wasn't intentional though.

What d'yall mean when you refer to beers as 'singles', please?
Jesus performed a miracle and turned water into some very good wine (perhaps a 1982 Chateau Margaux, but it doesn't say).
The pointless point that we all often miss is that these wedding guests had already used up their allotment of wine, which is what necessitated a miracle.

Well, yes, Jesus did produce an abundant quantity of wine at the wedding of Cana. However, you have to realize that there were probably a lot of people there. Also, Jesus was not responsible for the behavior of the people there. If they chose to drink to drunkenness then that was their choice, not His.
Also, just because people called Jesus a drunkard doesn't mean He really was a drunkard. It is quite possible that they said this about him simply because they wanted to insult him.

Hang on peeps, this is a non-religious forum. Don't let the beer go flat...

Where I live all hard liquor must be sold through the state. Supposing I want to buy a chocolate liqueur or whiskey then I must go to a state ABC store. I may buy beers and wines at grocery stores, gas stations and other places that have obtained licenses; but for the hard stuff I must purchase through the state. Now then, if I were to perform a miracle and turn wine into whiskey I might get into some legal trouble, but with beer I'd probably be OK so long as I didn't try to sell the stuff.Magog said:Hang on peeps, this is a non-religious forum.

My sincerest apologies, for some stupid reason I thought we were in a 'debate group' here (I really need to take a breather from all these debates)
Please forgive my intrusion into your Beliefs, I was wrong.

Ta! What does 'single' mean, when relating to a beer? (I only know it as a small measure for spirits)
Do you mean single malt, single hops brews? (minimalist style of brewing--shortest possible ingredient list)
Secret Chief
Vetted Member
Not single malts. One hop type is quite common.

At least, that's how craft beers are sold in this area. (We have a large number of microbreweries locally.)
LOL. Our state just ended its monopoly on liquor, and auctioned off all its liquor stores. Now you can buy booze in the grocery stores. Consequentially, groceries stores are now losing thousands of dollars a day due to liquor theft. Our state has got the highest liquor taxes in the country, which makes liquor quite expensive, and a profitable black-market item. Go figure.

Ah, cheers!
The American craft brewers have influenced the British ones, particularly with high IBU brews, with hops such as Cascade and Citra.
I'm going to get serious for a moment.
Ok, all done.
