Can Beer be made with Cannabis? - Cannabis Brewing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Lord Fatwa · 03-16-2008, 03:49 AM

Although I haven't done the proper research, I always thought someone COULD make beer with cannabis, because hops is in the same plant family (i think) as hops. If you substituted hops for cannabis, couldn't you make cannabis beer?

My logic is pretty flawed, and know nothing of the beer making process, so this is all brainstorming. BUT IS IT POSSIBLE??

yes..it can be added as a dry"hop" addition..at the end of fermentation...

Dont know about making beer with it as if its hops, but you can dissolve the trichromes in ultra high proof liquor, and get an alcohol/weed buzz from a bottle.

well, I am pretty sure the answer to this is actually the opposite of what you are thinking....but if you are a dedicated person, you can actually make hops that produce THC, to make beer that gets you high and drunk...hehehe
(I have never done this, although, I know it has been done)

It is all about grafting...you grow a cannabis plant and a hops plant...say both 45 days. You chop the top off the canna, and split the remaining stem "stump". Cut down the hops plant and cut both side of the stem so that it forms a "V". Then insert the hops plant top into the slit on the canna stump and tape up....let grow....make beer....wooo hooo!!!

That is the long/short of it...and yes, it does work b/c if you research hops and canna are distant relatives.
