This Homebrew Recipe was added by Boulder Bob on January 20, 1997 at 10:27:01:

This isn't a specific recipe, per se, but rather a way to modify any
existing homebrew recipe to become a pot fortified brew.

Ingredients:
4-12 ounces of high-grade trimmings (the crystally leaves
near the buds)
or
1/2-2 ounces of high grade sinsemelia
8-16 ounces of neutral spirits such as vodka or Everclear

Take the cuttings or buds and soak in plain water for twenty-four
to fourty-eight hours to remove some of the chlorophyll compounds
and vegatation taste (It's important to do this).

Drain the pot, allow to dry in dark, not-hot, place, and then
place in blender. Add neutral spirits. Blend until chopped into
small pieces, but not until it looks like pesto!

Refrigerate for two days or longer.

Add to beer when finished brewing, immediately prior to bottling.
The small amount of pot will settle with the yeast in the bottle
and should not be noticable.

This pot extract works best with strong, malty, highly hopped beers
which can handle the additional kick from the neutral spirits.
Imperial Stouts, Barley Wines, strong Porters, and Scotch Ales all
work well.

Caveat Emptor: This pot extract will creep up on you; drink
with care.
