Crabgrass Beer & Dandelion Wine | How to Brew Everything | Weed Booze

[@ReviewBrew]

Resist the urge to use clear bottles for beer. Sunlight will "skunk" the beer and may have been part of the problem. Love these brewing videos. You should do one on how to catch wild yeast for brewing.

[@Kevin-ci1uo]

It needs to be beer in order to skunk! No hops means this isn't even technically a beer!

[@htme]

Great idea! Originally our yeasts were found in the headwaters of the Mississippi... we are holding off on food and beverages for a while, but we are interested in making things like biofuels! Do you know of other practical purposes for yeast besides for skin care and Hair treatments? Thank goodness for your comment!

[@PixlRainbow]

How To Make Everything well, ethanol IS flammable. It's your conventional alcohol making process, except that you are allowed to have additives that aren't safe for human consumption, you skip steps that add taste, and you add an extra distillation step to get high purity.

[@TheMrJuoji]

maybe use it to make kombucha and use the scobi on top to make fake leather

[@SoldierSide36]

i've used leftover Ale yeast as a catalyst for a sourdough starter, and had really good results. Also would like to see some hydrometer testing in the next one, wild yeast cultivating would be really cool though. Either way keep it up!

That sounds like an interesting idea.

[@shutereye2634]

I want to see it done.

[@SomnathRoyGrimfangs]

The problem with Weed is that it's fat soluble. Meaning that it won't form a solution with the water it is boiled in. You need an oil/fat base to extract the flavour and THC from the weed. In India, that's done by mixing milk or buttermilk into the weed while grinding it. It's called Bhaang. You might want to give that a try, although Bhaang is generally made from the flower and not the leaves.

[@twoheadedchicken7904]

@@SomnathRoyGrimfangsI made that before and i didn't even know that recipe it was just something i thought might work cool who knew Indians knew a great way to get faded oh and i get why its called BHAANG xD

I think you might need to freeze the crabgrass seeds before you soak them in order to get them to germinate.

[@adrianbukovec230]

Dandelion are so versatile. You can make wine from them, use the leaves in a salad, roast the roots and use it instead of coffee...

[@RealRuler2112]

I remember helping collect dandelions for my grandma to make wine when I was 4 or 5... worked all damn summer & then they wouldn't even let me taste it! =(

[@zaneort]

probably cuz it was somewhat alcoholic and they didn't want you to have alcohol at such a young age

[@RealRuler2112]

Trynant - Yeah, I get it. Don't think a sip would've hurt though.

[@zaneort]

Ya I know

[@Mr_Foeko]

My mom makes delicious dandelion syrup, she is in the field all day collecting bowls and bowls of them.

[@dutchik5107]

RealRuler2112 Yeah but you have the thing of getting used to alcohol at a young age. At a restaurant they were really hesistant to give my brother one pasta. Because they burn the cheese with alcohol and it is a show. But they use bacardi, so it tastes like Bacardi. But my parents really had to assure them that it was OK. Kids dont like the taste of alcohol and many parents dont want their kids to get used to the taste young. The dish didn't contain any alcohol of course. It was burnt of. And even possibly getting an alcoholic later if you are depressed because the taste of alcohol reminds you of your childhood summers dandelion picking with grandma. And like. It isn't OK for a kid to drink ANY alcohol at that age.

[@Falney]

You can actually also collect the dandelion roots to make beer, wine or coffee. I actually have 2 bottles of dandelion flower wine I made in 2006 down in the cellar. I opened a bottle a few weeks ago and it is amazing.

How to make net neutrality

[@kueapel911]

pls no, I hate it when the government have power over my internet... the last time I had that, I was in Indonesia... can't even open reddit cause it's blocked by the government there for some kind of bizarre reason. Who knows when Trump will decide to censor stuffs out... better don't give em any power over the internet at all. I can change my ISP, I can't change my country that easily...

[@maxybaer123]

you do know what net neutrality is right? Because of US laws the government cant block websites or anything like that but since most things are privately owned in the US the owners have the right to block whatever they want net neutrality is just saying that they have to play by the same rules as the government

[@clax5612]

[@mirsolis4992]

Net neutrality should be called 'status quo', if you had no issues with the internet 5 years ago you should be fine with net neutrality. I think you might be getting terms mixed up, it entails no govt control just that ISPs cant show favoratism to sites or throttle others.

People that know how to make beer and cringe at his joke of a brewing process. I can make beer out of literally grass. Its all in the malting, flavour extraction and hops. Where did he put the hops in? TRY AGAIN!

[@htme]

We didn’t put hops in because we were hoping to just taste the crabgrass on its own. We asked the experts at MidWest supply and Northern Brewer. We wanted to taste the grain not the hops. Please do make a crabgrass beer and show us how you would make it!

[@brainwater176]

Yes, very true. Fentiman's dandelion burdock soda is also sold here in the US. It's just very uncommon.

[@MrDoomperson]

What you got with your 'weed beer' is a taste of how beer tasted in the ironage and back. Because they didn't have hops (many places anyway), they used a spectrum of other taste and preservative plants such as nettleseeds, porse, goutweed, rowan and others. These help sour the beer to preserve it and add flavour. The modern beers are almost always made with cereals and hops, ergo this is the taste you know as beer. I imagine the one you made tastes similar to the iron age beers we have made based on archaeological finds from Germany and Denmark, very sour but with a somewhat sweet aftertaste. Back in the days, beer wasn't sweet, and was weak (1-2%), and was mostly a way to get clean water.

[@michaelteslia7906]

Yes me thinks he made himself a sour beer

[@DrewskiTheLegend]

Michael Teslia I’ve brewed beer that turned sour just because of the pvc piping having something in it. StarSan and hot water didn’t kill it. Could be the equipment, as I didn’t see anything dropped into the wort prior to fermentation. Otherwise maybe just the fact that it’s crabgrass which would seem bitter, nasty for beermaking.

[@mr.urbanism]

Does anyone have the recipe for the dandelion wine? I am very curious now lol

[@jaydunbar7538]

Payton Tomm the early sugar content determines the alcohol content, cutting the sugar also increases the chance someone new will end up with vinegar as the yeast will feed on the alcohol. Baker's yeast has a low alcohol tolerance so it dies off very quickly, if I recall correctly it is only survives to around 5%. Where as champagne yeast can survive to 17%, which is why I use it exclusively. I attempt to maximize the alcohol and flavor to make the most of my effort and storage space. Most people drink it over ice or even cut it with water, so it makes a bottle last just a little longer :)

[@kratomseeker5258]

i do a old recipe dandelion wine its awesome ill give the recipe here. only pick the dandelion heads when its very sunny outside otherwise it can be bitter. Culp the the dandelion head between your middle finger and ring finger and pull up and the head will pop right up. if you get a stem or 2 it wont hurt but you want only the dandelion heads you dont need to pick the yellow parts off with this recipe. you can use the whole heads. pick a whole gallon of dandelion and rinse them off in a strainer and start boiling a pot water 1 gallon. when it gets to a rolling boil put the dandelion heads in and let boil for 20 minutes. then strain the dandelions off dont smash the dandelions when straining to much. the water will be green and smell like spinach. put it in a fridge to cool for 20 minutes. the temp should now be about right to pitch your yeast add in 5 pounds of sugar (corn sugar if you dont want that cidery taste from the cain) cut in 4's 2 lemons and 2 oranges, squeeze the juices out into the fermenter and drop the whole fruit in then pitch your yeast. stir all content well and cover stirring once a day. on the 3rd day or 4th fermentation should be done. then the recipe said to bottle the wine (make sure fermentation is done first, if you need to use a hydrometer make sure its sterilized and put the wine back in. your only making a gallon and and its high alcohol content will most likely keep it from getting infected.) let wine age for 6 months (i drank all mine except one bottle right away its very delicious.) then strain the rest into another clean bottle straining with cheese cloth or whatever you like. in 6 months the wine is thicker and much better and strong and sweet and DELICIOUS. ENJOY!

In case you don't know, amylase is a catalyst made by the glands in your mouth to help in the conversion of starch into sugar.

[@alaskabrewer8186]

I'm sure the crabgrass would not make a good beer, but the flavors you are describing are from infection (especially the medicinal/burnt rubber smells). The yeast could have been stressed too if you did not have good temp control. You may have had an issue with sanitation somewhere along the way. Also, dextrose (corn sugar) works far better for bottle conditioning. It nearly completely ferments and does not leave an aftertaste.
