Now that I have your attention, the gold I've discovered is of a different vissiage, it is liquid gold. I'm researching the infamous KTs in Ireland and Scotland for a book I'm writing on the lost Templar fleet, (I've metal detected around Templar sites in Ireland and so far have not unearthed any artifacts, but I certainly have not given up. Especially when local legend has it that the Holy Grail is burried on the Hill of Tara). During my research, I came across a brewing recipe, an original Knights Templar ale recipe. I collected the ingredients and brewed some for the 1st time over the weekend and it was finally done fermenting today, so I had a chance to try it for the 1st time. The verdict is, I've found the Holy Ale!

Gypsy, you can have it, but it uses all organic ingredients from Ireland.

You need malt, bottom fermenting yeast and a mixture of herbs called gruit. The gruit is made up of mugwort, sweet gale, marsh rodemary and yarrow. I'm actually putting together home brewing kits and flogging them on ebay. Sold my 1st one yesterday and it got 7 bids.

Sorry, I haven't had my first cup of joe, and was thinking of 1717, the beginning of the freemasons.

Here's the ebay link:

http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4466587524&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESE:IT&rd=1

I'm also setting up a website and if anyone is interested in homebrewing them send me a PM and I'll give I'll work a better deal out. You don't even need any special equipment, just a pot big enough to hold 5 gallons.


Cheers,

DJ

Maybe if you drink the beer- enough to make you think you are a templar, then you will remember where you put the grail,
Then you could drink the beer from the grail

on the down side if you dig it up and its more than 50 years old some thieving state or archaeological board will steel it from you

OUCH....

I'll stick with the Holy Ale. I have no idea what the real Grail is.

So if my money conversion is correct, if I won the auction right now at 12 euro, and paid the 20 euro shipping, it would come to roughly $41 US?
Thats alot of Bud, bud.

For 5 gallons? The shipping is the highest cost. If you bought a homebrew kit in the States from one of the companies that sells them, it would cost you $30 or more plus shipping. And you would be gettingI've tried to keep the costs as reasonable as I can but the package weighs quite a bit and the ingredients aren't cheap.

I'm not complaining Quinn, just pointing out how much you get, and also converting the money for the people who aren't 100% on currency conversion.

No worries Dvae. The conversion is that a euro is worth about $1.27 US dollars, so €32 is about $40.64.
