Just what I thought....

Well, just what I thought would happen, has happened.  I thought I had so much to write about, but now I can't come up with a single thing.

Well, I guess I could talk about my quest to make and have Ancient Egyptian Beer, like what was made when they built the Pyramids.  Stay with me on this one.  It has been studied that Ancient Egyptians had brewed beer with an unknown side effect.  It had Antibiotics, but they didn't know it, no one knew it or what it was at that time. It would have 1000's of years before they were discovered. Think of where the world would be if they did understand it.

Squirrel: Check out "How beer saved the world" that the Discovery Channel made.  Google it, I think it is on youtube. It will tell you all about how beer did great things in history for the world.

To think if you started to feel ill, you could just drink a beer, who needs to go to the doctor.  :-)  (Well you should go and see a doctor)

So I have been looking for the recipe to make Egyptian beer, and I haven't had much luck.  I do recall seeing a show on the Discovery Channel where a University in California (I think) actually made it, but I can't find which one or how they did it.  I am surprised none of the brewers in the world haven't really tried to do this (except for Dogfish Head, they tried some of the ancient beers  and they were good.).  What a market you could have, but then again, some lawyer would sue and it would be a mess, so maybe that is why it isn't being done.  So, lets just leave this to the craft-brewers to find the recipe, share and enjoy.

So my quest is on to find the recipe to make the Ancient Egyptian beer.  I guess we all need a quest in life, this is just one of the many I have!  As the saying goes, "relax and have a homebrew!"
