• 6oz Victory malt
• 6oz Carapils malt
• Your favorite slow-fermenting yeast

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Bring 2gal of water to 160 degrees in a pot, ideally 30qt size.
- Crush the following and add to a straining bag:
• 8oz Carahell malt
• 6oz Victory malt
• 6oz Carapils malt
- Add the grain bag to the water, then stir occasionally for 30mins.
- Remove grains and discard.
- Remove the pot from heat source, then add 8.5Ibs of your favorite light malt extract syrup, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Add enough water until the pot has La r lore than aI, ensuring there is space above the liquid for a rolling boil. - Return the pot to boiling, then Adjust heat to maintain a boil.
- Add 1oz of Columbus pellet 1 ops to be boiled for 6Omins.
- Wait 45mins, add 1oz Cascade pellet hops, and 1oz Armarillo pellet hops to be boiled for 15mins.
- Wait 15mins, remove the pot.'lm heat and add:
• 1oz of Centennial pellet hc,
• 1oz Belma pellet hops
• 3/8oz of finely ground, high quality real iju. na.
- Stir for several minutes, then chill the beer. Note: Do not use any additives to aid in cold break, and add the entire volume of turbid beer to your fermentation vessel.
- Add your favorite brewer's yeast, or blend of yeasts (ideally a slow-fermenting variety), such as Wyeast 1332: Northwest Ale.
- Allow to ferment at 65-75 degrees.
- After the krauzen (top frothy layer of yeast over the beer) has settled, prepare 3/8oz (or less) of marijuana by grinding it into a mixing bowl and adding a pinch of Potassium Meta-bisulphite (ideally no more than 1/16tsp). Add water while stirring to submerge the marijuana. Cover the mixing bowl, and allow to sit for at least lhr.
- Discard the green liquid by pouring, being careful not to lose any kief or buds, then add the remaining marijuana to the vessel containing your beer, and add:
• 1oz of whole leaf hops which complement the flavors of your marijuana (I prefer Belma Hops with Blue Dream marijuana).
- Allow to sit for at least 10 days, rocking the vessel to re-suspend the hops and marijuana daily, then bottle or keg as usual.

Notes: Substitutions and changes are welcome; everything can be changed. The main point is to add marijuana to the boil to create some activated THC, and to add more after fermentation to add the flavors and other cannabinoids. This will produce a beer with an estimated 50mg of cannabinoids per 12oz of beer. That amount can be scaled linearly to adjust the amount of THC.
