@Joseph…thanks for swinging by man, I’ll definitely swing by your site again! I hope one of these Fridays you’ll pick up the beer of the week and enjoy a brew (virtually) with us!

@Mike…Yeah, somewhere (I can’t remember where) I read a prof. of archeology explain the pic in detail. I think she was from Texas A&M.

One more thing about the picture with the post. Notice the long straw. This was probably meant to filter out the extraneous particles.

Joseph,

We probably won’t be doing too much on homebrewing. Well, if there is a high demand…we’ll see. I’ve myself have been doing it for about five years or so (I know that Nate would love to get into it). If you are interested, maybe I can post something before too long. Nate said this ancient text would not produce what we are used to, but it would make a good beer either way. I imagine that some may have let this ancient beer sour to produce bittering. Sure it would be a confrontational flavor, but that is based on conventional flavors.

Cool site Nate.

Saw your post when you hit my site and I was intrigued.

A site about Beer…very nice. Love the brew but unfortunately have never learned the art of homebrew.

Will definitely be visiting often to see what you are writing about.

Yeah, I noticed that. I would love to recreate it. Although my gut reaction is it would be a confrontational flavor…no hops or anything to bitter the beer. probably bready and sweet.

One thing that is notable about this hymn is that it roughly describles the order of the brew that occurs. It’s almost a hymn and homebrew for dummies.
