Re: Opium Beer - The Easy Way
sounds very nice, milord and plausible.
would try that too.
also the one from sailorman.
btw, where in SR can one buy that kombucha tea who advertises here, its also fermented stuff...?
and like particularly your remarks about ginger.
its said to be nausea only.
but its not true. imo there is MUCH MUCH more to it and it acts particularly and very strong on the opioid system.

Opium History
Use of opium dates back further than there is history. Archeological digs in Switzerland have found Opium Poppy seeds and pods, dating from the Neolithic age--the "New Stone Age", a period running from 5500 B.C. to 8000 B.C. This makes opium the oldest known drug.
The Sumarians
The first people known to have used opium are the Sumarians who lived in lower Mesopotamia (now western Iraq). The Sumarians are best remembered as the culture that invented writing. But in most ways, they were far ahead of their time. They produced ten times as much food as other farmers in the region--largely due to their use of irrigation. They traded extensively with their neighbors, especially food and the drugs opium and beer--it is estimated that as much as half of the Sumarian barley crop went to beer production.
The use of opium by the Sumarians dates back as far as 3500 BC (5500 years). It is known that they used opium medicinally. Some contend that it was not used recreationally. This is highly unlikely, however; the Sumarian name for the opium poppy is hul gil, which means "joy plant". Plus their use and export of alcohol indicates that recreational use of drugs was as important to the people of that time as it is today.

Re: Opium Beer - The Easy Way
true, that opium has a really bad reputation, sort of...
its not really that bad basically, and its very 'natural', though it makes freaking dependent and that's the problem.
further, I think(!) it triggers a lot of female hormonal processes in males ...
we produce lots of endogenous opioids in our body.
its the most important (and least explored) system, probably.
but good, they haven't, as they try to screw and wrench on it already.
we shouldn't, imo.

Re: Opium Beer - The Easy Way
No real recipe for Ganga beer, but you could refine the ganga using the acetone method of making hash-oil then infuse/dissolve that in your mash or young fermented beer, then add bottling sugar and bottle/keg.
I've heard of a second method where you steep 2 and a half oz of ganga (per 5 gal of beer) in 150F water twice for 45 min, then put in the carboy and pour the fermented beer in over it to sit for a month, strain, then add bottling sugar and bottle/keg. (The steeping gets rid of the leafy taste.)

When the figure out how to use the opium yeast to make opium donuts, then I'll take interest.

I thought it was Ganja that was the oldest drug found in cultivation? It keeps turning up in prehistoric settlements all over the world, often found in seed stocks next to a primitive wheat species. poppies do seem to grow almost as ubiquitously as ganja so maybe they are both good contenders.

Judging by the extremely violent tribal wars conducted by opium smokers (think Afghanistan etc) you may well be right.potty wrote:true, that opium has a really bad reputation, sort of...
