An Interesting Claim About Brewing...

[Sammus]

My bad. I forgot just how much red & black tartan socks really encapsulate how I feel about the world. Don't get me started on Emo kids. How are drainpipe pants a statement? [/rant]

who knows, makes as much sense as a mohawk and a saftey pin through your nose, or dressing in all leather growing a big beard and riding a harley, or walking around in pluggers, stubbies, a singlet and a tinnie of vb. It's just a style that people choose to live by.

apparently it is impossible for a human to taste any more IBU over 100....

Indeed. Though apparently once you go over there are changes in texture and flavour balance that make a difference.

I don't know for sure, I haven't done a 200IBU batch before.

yeah not something on my top ten things to do.... call me a girl but I like my IBU around 40....

I remember there was a thread about it at one point, apparently it tasted nice.

That's theoretical IBU, I think those calculations fall apart at high IBUs - solubility of the bittering components is only finite I seem to recall hearing or reading somewhere that someone tested it in a lab, and it came in around 80 or 90...

Honestly a brewer who can make beer out of coca-cola will be a millionaire.

Phosphoric acid + yeast = ??

If you added coke syrup to a finished beer, well, maybe...

This may have been seen before, but it's interesting

Linky - 2007 IBUs (theoretical)

Apparently it's the 6th best brewery in the world (2nd best in Denmark), so it's at least not just some nutjob sitting in his backyard making this up.

Solubility may not be a problem if this works(ed) out

I think I'll have to try this 'use beer instead of water' idea and make a double stout. Later. First need to get AG going at all.

I made a batch of Coke Porter, and it was OK (disgusting actually, but drinkable in small quantities).
Coke Fiend and Poor man's Poorter here. Caffeine beer.
BTW, in the U.S. the Mountain Dew has caffeine too.
Relevance? Dunno..., just a few stray facts.

I remember that beer. Never really did get inspired enough to try making one
