Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer
Brewing with Cannabis
Brewing with Cannabis: where weed meets beer in the modern craft movement. Discover the intriguing evolution of marijuana’s illegal status and delve into the ever-changing laws on decriminalization and legalization in the U.S. Educate yourself on cannabis farming and biology, the plant’s distinctive traits, the connections between cannabis and hops, and the essentials for cultivating at home (if it’s legal in your state).
Both homebrewers and professional brewers will be inspired by a wide-range of extract-based and all-grain recipes they can adopt or use as guidance when creating non-alcoholic beer or homebrew. Designed as a practical guide to use in brewing, the final chapter will inspire readers on how the discovery of new cannabinoids and terpenes may be used in the future. This book will be especially useful to brewers seeking information on the responsible and state legal of use of cannabis in brewing.
Examine the active components of cannabis and the chemistry of how they interact with beer. Discover how to de-carboxylate THC-A into the fully psychoactive form of THC and learn methods of adding cannabis and CBD to non-alcoholic beer and homebrew for different effects. Delve into how and why the plant produces compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes, how they function, and how to incorporate them into beer recipes.
