Is it possible to brew marijuana beer?
Anyone can brew beer from different things – cranberries, pumpkin, wheat, barley, corn, etc. Can you make beer with marijuana, and would it retain the THC?
If you want to retain the THC, your best bet is to dry hop with chopped up buds. Boiling buds like hops boils off the THC.
A good friend of mine says that it is better to dry hop with something a little stronger than beer..he says hard cider with about 12%-14% alcohol is great dry hopped with some good bud. If you were going to use beer…high gravity is the way to go…imperial stout or barley wine would be your best bet.
My friend says that he put a spoon full or two in a few bottles at bottling time and waited a couple months then try them. He found that it does take a bit of bud to actually get a noticeable effect..about 2 tsp per 16 oz bottle will give you a noticeable / desireable effect and you won’t want/need another bottle after one of those.
Strain this through a metal strainer (not something like a coffee filter) and you will still be able to smoke some of that bud after it dries out… coffee filter somehow removes some of the THC. from the beverage.
My friend says to watch out cause you will defiantly get a different effect and it wakes you up…energizes you in a way…you’ll talk a lot…feel great..but may say or do things you will regret the next day…so be careful. Of course my friend did this is a place where it is legal to do and would advise you to only do this in a place where it is legal as well.
I need recommendations for the most helpful book in teaching how to brew beer at home.?
I’ve heard of dragon liqour but let’s see if we get so more info.MISFITS look it up on the net there’s a whole thing on puting weed in liqour for about three to four weeks then your going to be shit faced for a whole year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol would probably remain if one was to use it in the brewing process.My knowledge of molecular biology is somewhat limited, so I can’t be sure, but you may find this site interesting. http://www.onr.com/user/liberty/Marijuana/MBeer/MBeer.html
I can’t speak to its reliability though.

Not sure about beer. Maybe if you left the herb in while it was fermenting you could get something. THC is alcohol soluble but there is not much alcohol in beer. And you generally take all the solid matter out before fermentation.

It has been done but the results, so far as I know, were not worth it. Stick with hops. They are closely related to marijuana and have some of the same effects, in addition to helping to preserve the beer.

how can you mix the devil (alcohol), with a Godly substance (THC)?!!?!?!?
but scientifically speaking, yes, you can. you would need to get the THC extracted in an oil-based solution.
