Try and ask in the "living off the land" section on here, we have some very skilled home brewers among us lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Got loads round here: the dogs love eating the leaves. If you want to make beer you need to let it grow and pick the flowers: they are what gives the flavour. But there's a lot more to beer making than that, and I'm no expert!
