Hi all,
I'm new to your forum, so hopefully your collective brewing brains may help me overcome a unique situation.
I'm currently working in Saudi Arabia on a long term assignment, and live on a very secure compound within a comfortable 2 bedroom villa. There are a few guys brewing wine and spirits, however nobody brews beer. So, I have at my disposal;
Molasses,
Baker's Yeast,
2 x 20 litre water bottles, the type that get turned upside down on top of a chiller,
Filtered water.
The Molasses comes in 350ml jars, and is sold at the local compound supermarket. In the main supermarkets they sell Holsten Pills non-alcoholic beer in an amazing number of varieties, mostly with fruit flavours added.
This is what I propose doing;
4 x 350 ml bottles of Molasses, 1 kilo of sugar, some baker's yeast.
Boil some water, add the sugar, mix the sugar slowly to 18 litres of fresh water within one of those 20 litre water bottles mentioned above.
Add 4 jars of Molasses. Sprinkle a table spoon of Baker's yeast into the water, agitate until mixed.
Cut a small water bottle in half and place over the top of the 20 litre bottle neck.
Set the temperature in the room to 25c, place vessel in the bathtub and leave it for a period of time.
Decant once bubbles have stopped, about 2 weeks?
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to a 1 litre bottle, cap and leave for a few more weeks.
Drink beer and post back here.
Tell me i'm mad, tell me i'm dancing with fire, but please tell me this will make palatable beer.
Any and all replies are very much appreciated.
Cheers, Andy.
