so there is a brewing challenge with my homebrew club that should be rather interesting...

all ingredients must be purchased at wal-mart.

this means, no barley/malt, no brewers yeast. Wal-mart sells bread yeast, which apparently has a tendency to do weird things...

this is like a redneck brew off...

i've pretty much settled on trying to make a "peach cobbler mead"

so peaches, oatmeal (gives a biscuity flavor) and honey

Honey will feed the yeast, creating the alcohol, and the peaches/oatmeal will flavor it.

Its a pretty simple solution to the challenge, and i'm sure the other more experienced brewers (and scientists in the group) will come up with things a little more challenging...

though, i am tempted to just get some kool-aid or jello mix and ferment that
