One unfortunate side effect of this hobby is that it tends to cause the loyal practitioner to put on weight. Drinking something like that would really be a problem, not only do you need to worry about the calories in the beer itself but the munchies following a session of that stuff would really cause problems.

At least we know where to go now for any other ingredients

[themadhippy]

Its going to be an expensive brew,around £150 at uk street prices,200 euros in amsterdam or $180 in colarado just for 1 ingrediant

Generally when using hops the analysis of the hop is indicated on the package so bitterness can be calculated. Additionally, all the brewing calculators can come up the IBU's given certain parameters of the brew. Now it would seem that the calculators will need to be updated and the pot will need to be clearly labeled so that the brewer will have some way to predict the amount of active ingredient in the brew. Also, I would think it makes sense to pelatize the pot as that would theoretically increase the yield in the boil and just generally be easier to use. I would be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that a few brewers in either Colorado, Washington or both have already jumped those hurdles at least intellectually (assuming they had the energy to do so).

waste of time putting it in the boil,theactive goodies wont be fully absorbed,of course youll still get the taste,bettter to use it as a dry "hop" then the alcohol will absorb it,or use either hash or oil for the effect and leaf trim for taste.

I would be of a mind to create some sort of tincture with a neutral alcohol (i.e. vodka) and just add this to the beer after primary fermentation is done or at bottling. THC is alcohol soluble, it seems odd to be adding your 'stuff' at the end of the boil. Another advantage of making a tincture is that you could just add it via a syringe intravenously... I mean into individual bottles, so you wouldn't need to make a whole batch.

Lucky dip anyone??
