Five gallons of boiled (hard) water One ounce of Fuggles hops pellets One ounce of Chinook hops pellets



11.5 ounces of Safale yeast And...

It sounds like alchemy-- a yeast that will turn water into booze.

Does it really take eleven and half ounces of hops to ferment out two ounces of hops? Sounds like overkill.

One professional brewer (De Dolle Brouwers) HAS already done a fermented hopdrink. But I have NEVER heard about somebody trying to ferment WITH hops, as you suggest... ;^}Joris

Sounds kinda like Zima to me!

Well, I do note that I forgot to mention the four pounds of "Alexander's Sun Country Light Malt" in the brew! ;-)

Nah, that's fermented Fresca!
