Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the Green Dragon to which you refer?

Cheers,
Greg

I was wondering that, too.

What is a Green Dragon?

Never heard of it... or condone that sort of thing

but I did read this somewhere...

"One fact often overlooked by beer-drinkers is that hops are a member of the Cannabinae family and a close relative of Cannabis indica, otherwise known as marijuana"

To be honest wouldn't want to mess up a perfectly good brew myself... much rather add some nice SAAZ...

I know a fellow who did, it tasted bad, and sent them all funny.

Cheers,

I've read that it can be done and it can produce...interesting beer.

The THC will dissolve in alcohol or in fat (is also released when burnt).

To avoid "grassy" flavours in your beer, soak your "herb" in water for a few hours. This will also remove any soils, bugs etc.

When you transfer your beer into secondary, dry hop with 1 ounce (32 grams) of "herb. Then bottle/keg as per normal.

I have not made this, so can not vouch for anything I've said above, it is just info I have read elsewhere online.

Google "Brain death beer"

Somehow, I knew Hashie would have something to add here...

What is cannabis sativa then? I couldn't be stuffed googling for an answer...

im no expert but I always thought sativa and indica were just different strains of cannibis?

The term 'Green Dragon' usually refers to soaking pot in vodka for a lengthy period of time, then drinking it.

I haven't tried that either.

not that i have ever done this but i think the yield is far greater if you cook the stuff - a ratio of one quarter ounce to 125g butter seems to work well (my friend told me)

my friend also told me sativa and indica are different strains of the same plant with slightly different effects
