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
