Hello. Has anyone ever brewed a thc beer? I just recently did and cant wait to try it out! Its just a 1 1/2 gal second pull batch with 4 grams of pure kief. Should be about 3% abv not sure the mg per 12 oz but yeah should be good
How did you extract the thc? It sounds like you may have just added unprocessed plant material which would do nothing other than waste it and make the beer taste awful. I think carbonizing and extracting with alcohol would be the method to use but even then I imagine that it would only be good in a modest dose in a strong flavored beer.
yup, cannabis in a water tea does nothing. very high strength alcohol is the most reliable way to extract THC and other relevant substances in regtards to beer. (you could use oil perhaps? outside of my experience)
this would also help you in measuring dosage, especially if you bought it. in canada, you can buy weed AFAIK (i don’t use it) with labeled variety, THC content, etc.
Personally, I always hated ingesting weed in ways other than smoking, as it is slow to act and then hits you like a ton of bricks and not in a good way.
Tried some at a beer festival and almost spit it back up. Haven’t tried it since so I don’t know whether it was a bad batch or that’s what it actually tastes like.
THC-infused beer can—and very likely will—induce psychoactive effects, which can vary from person to person. Consume these beers responsibly and at your own risk. If you are unsure of what to expect, start with a very small sample and wait a few hours before consuming more.
…and an Editor’s Note:
Despite legalization and/or decriminalization of cannabis and cannabis-derived products by many states and the District of Columbia, marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and, thus, federally illegal. The American Homebrewers Association neither endorses nor discourages brewing with cannabis-related products, however homebrewers who do so should remember that such beers are not permitted in the National Homebrew Competition. Most local and regional competitions also do not allow cannabis beers at this time.
