Sorry I had a moment of channeling a certain RW poster

The story is pretty cool though

I'll post the recipe if the FOIA request is successful.

I'd love to get a copy. I wonder if he's an all grain brewer or extract?

Regardless, I'll make a batch and give y'all a full report.

IME all grain is more work than its worth. I get great results from a partial mash (some grain and some malt extract). It lets me do without the big mashing pot which my stove cannot handle.

I made and drank some of the best beer in Tasmania. The water came from a local stream, into it went a can of Cascade Brewery Stout. The wonderful Brit with whom I made the brew and I "arm" stirred the mix - each sticking our bare arms into the brew to combine the ingredients. In went the yeast and over the top went a piece of cheesecloth - no air lock.

The thing sat in a greenhouse for about a week and a half and we checked in on it daily until fermentation stopped.

Primed and bottled it was great beer and some of the best beer I had ever tasted.

Pretty cool use of the Freedom of Information Act. Hope the gentleman is successful.

Turkey fryers are good for more than just frying.

It would be interesting to see the recipe. I've considered joining a local home brew group on a couple of occasions. I think my girl might be interested as well; I should mention it to her!
