Brewing with Hemp explores Cannabis sativa from a brewer's perspective. Explore methods and techniques for infusing hemp (containing less than 0. 3% THC) into beverages. Solubilizing shelf-stable cannabinoids in beverages and hemp additions at traditional brewing stages are discussed. Discover the use of terpenes, create a tincture, or experiment with new recipes using hemp as an ingredient. Readers will learn how to navigate the shifting legal landscape as hemp becomes more acceptable and accessible.
