That's the route I had thought. So I think ill try both. Then I can post my findings. Good times. :drunk:

Make sure you resurrect this post and let us know what you think. Also, any feedback on my recipe would be great so I can modify it.

Oh, here is a tip. Try buying a bottle of banana juice from your local (goes into cocktail) and mixing that with the wheat beer. That is like a German cocktail, and might render your wheat beer good when warm

Also, your going to Glastonbury, not the old farts beer festival, so you want something that will send your mind into outer space! Now I would love to advocate using drugs in place of hops, but that is illegal, so lets not go there.

I know this thread is old and this is off topic. Not sure if this is the place for it, but hops = drugs, just legal

Hops is part of the Cannabis Family of plants. See here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humulus

Just like Cannabis, the hops plant is dioecious, or in other words they form seperate male and female plants. Further to this, just like Cannabis, we are also only after the female flower of the hops plant. Just like Cannabis, These female hops plants are also normally grown in the absence of the male plants, because the presence of male plants causes pollination and the formation of seeds in the hops cones, this also halts the plants natural process of producing the oils that brewer's are after.

Hops is classified as a sedative hypnotic, some 20 times more potent than ethanol. The active ingredient (drug) is dimethylvinyl carbinol. See here >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hops for general and See here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Methyl-2-butanol for more details. This active drug is soluble in water at a rate of 120g/l, so it all goes into our beer aswell. It's boiling point is 102`C and chances are that our beer retains alot of this active ?

Moving into the realm of speculation now, it is claimed that, with them being in the same family and being geneticly compatible, a hops plant can be grafted (just like they graft apple trees and various citrus trees) onto the base of a cannabis plant and that this would result in THC (active drug in cannabis) infused hops cones.

Now that'll be an interesting brew . . .
