Send my best to the rest of the crew in the Auld Country.

that Floyd Synch thing (Dark Side of OZ) is fucking amazing when you're REALLY REALLY high or chilling with some shrooms. You can download the movie and its already all synchronized with Dark Side of the Moon. Then just burn it and watch it in your DVD player. ITS AWSOME!

Yeah yeah, already said that to the Bastard for about 10 times

Anyway, Bastard!!
Put on KazaaLite and type in the following keywords; "Wizard Oz Pink Floyd". Now select 'Video' and after a short while you should see the following file:
Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd.avi at the size of 723.482 MB

Hi Dallai Canna
Yeah ,sure did have a lot of fun ,mainly because the company was so good and some mean joints (with MAMMOTH IVORY) where rolled.(some good moonshine flying around too)
Am downloading the Pink Floyd wizard of Oz as we speak(kazzaLite of course) but have found a file that is 439781KB ,so hopefully will be easier to stick on a disc.Have had a quick preveiw of the first 5 mins and I can't wait.Gotta save some good weed and a bottle of Brew for that one
Hope you have recovered fully from the Cup and that it will be an event you either never forget or never remember
Hope you are all happy healthy and having fun,all the best from the Bastard Brewer

 

[Dallai Canna]

hehe can't wait to watch that one with a bottle of your Brew one day
You have to supply me with one when you got some again!!

[THC4SIM]

I just thought i would revive the Bastard Brewers thread!!!

Well done with your win Bruce!! with your CycoCyder!!! (quality stuff!!)
you will have to let us know when you have a batch ready!!!!!

 

[The Bastard Brewer]

Getting more ready as we speak. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that voted for me and to everyone who was involved.
Really glad you liked the CycoCyder ,its was my original recipe and the start of Bastard Brewing. I have posted the recipe in the Cannabis Brewing forum as I feel its quite a simple recipe and a good one to follow for Beginners. Might I also say there is a huge amount of info from many sourses about brewing/distilling with cannabis and people like Mean Mr Musterd, Dankdude,Jim W all need to be mentioned here as well.
Thank you all again and hopefully I will have 'BUDKA' the revolutionary Spirit of Marijuana ,ready for 2008

 

[Jack Crevalle]

Could you elaborate on the drink? Is it like a beer? Wine? Man that sounds tastey!
Congrats, by taking these awards, it's obviously goood stuff.

 

[Guest]

hiya bruce ,,great juice as always ,,,u should get the name CycoCyder patented befor bulmers or magners do lol ,someday theyre gonna wanna brew it too ,,it will never be as good as yours though

cya

 

[The Bastard Brewer]

Its basically a wine or cider(cider basically being a wine made from apples). Unfortunately for brewing purposes beer yeast is not strong enough to react with THC in the required amounts.That's why I brew Wines,ciders and meade. All of these are very old and very simple recipes ,the trick is to get the effect and taste right. I have posted in the Cannabis brewing forum the recipe for Cycocyder and would welcome people to try it out and tell me thier results and opinions.

 

[The Bastard Brewer]

Hi Hazy ,great catching up with you over the 420 cup,sorry I couldn't hang around longer. Will try and have a nice bottle put away specially for you next year.
LOL
You could be right about patenting the name

 

[Jack Crevalle]

So you sell these or are they gifts for friends? Sounds awesome, I love some ciders, mainly home made, but there is one that they sell at my liquor store from Sebastopol, Ca. called Ace Cider. That is some good commercial cider, but I bet yours is better
I gotta check out the thread..have a quick link?

 

[The Bastard Brewer]

Been looking into building a web site to sell the brew ,will keep you posted. At the momment I normally just have enough to cover the local market and a lot go out as birthday presents. I usually have to knock back orders to have some spare for the Cups.
I love a good cider myself and have even had the pleasure of drinking original ''scrumpy'' while visiting the Glastonbery festivals,(or it might have been tractor fuel the farmers where selling ,its difficult to understand the accent,said the Scotsman :smile: ).

CycoCyder (first made 1995)
10 litres pure apple juice (If you have a fruit press and access to bucket loads of apples this is best otherwise 100% PURE apple juice best from a health food shop ,but any 100% pure juice with NO ADDITIVES OR SUGARS ETC. will do)
15 litres water
6kgs sugar (4kgs sugar /2kgs glucose)
Wine yeast(strong white wine/Champagne) and Cider yeast (this is optional as this is more for flavour)

How to add the marijuana? I basically have just stuck the weed in a brewing bag (very similar to a bubble bag) and stuck it in a bucket of water and add ice and mash it around(Sound familiar?) With the solution you have left after you remove the brewing bag and contents you add this to the brew at secondry fermintation.NEVER just throw in weed ,this will encourage infections and effect the flavour very badly,usually its tastes like rotting vegitation ,also this lets the cannaboids seep into your brew and will make the effect of the brew very downer,stoney,red eyed ,only useful if you suffer from insomnia

First mix apple juice and 12ltrs water( add some boiled water to bring the temperature to about 20-24C) and add 4kgs of sugar and mix well
Place yeast in a pint glass with sugar and warm water.Leave for 10mins and check you can see froth forming.(this means the yeast has kicked in)
Add this frothing yeast to the bucket and mix well.
Leave for about 3/4 weeks or until frothing has died down.Keep in a covered fermanting bin DO NOT SEAL THE CONTAINER(The time really depends on the yeast you are using so check on the packet)
Now filter the solution into another bucket,the solution should not be sweet(do not be too fussy about the filtering) add the marijuana solution approx 3ltrs.(see process above) and add the last 2kgs sugar or if you want smaller finer bubbles add glucose( you may need to add a bit extra for glucose,if you have been really enthusiastic about filtering you may need to add more yeast as well,if the solution is still really sweet add less sugar)
Leave for about 2weeks and then filter into another bin and leave to settle for a week and then bottle.
If you want sparkling wine or cider it is best to add a 1/2 cup of glucose into another bin and filter the cycocyder into this bin and then bottle.You should have sparkling wine or cider within 2 weeks.
WARNING
MAKING SPARKLING WINES CAN LEAD TO EXPLODING BOTTLES .DO NOT SECURE THE CORKS ON BOTTLES WHILE FERMENTING IN BOTTLES.

This should produce a clear sweet cider.
Use less sugar if you want a dry cider -1kg sugar -1/2(Half)glucose
Also the sugar amount will vary to the yeasts you use ,the amounts I use are designed for MAXIMUM STRENGTH cider so you may find using less suits you better.
Also if you are using refined apple juice reverse the amounts of apple juice and water.Thus Apple 15ltr water 10ltr. The amount I quote is for thick pressed apple juice.
Hope you budding home brewers find this useful
