British = Yarrow
Chinese = Shi Cao
Filipino = Milfoil
Like I said I'm not a beer-brewer and I've never actually used Yarrow instead of Hops.
I would say that Hops has got to be the best ingredient. It's just a suggestion for experimenting
(an excuse to drink lots of experimental beer purely in the interests of research )
Sorry Fred, not much time right now. Will get on later.
In principle we just need to find an alternative process to malting (as we know it) to convert the starch to sugar.
This fungus stuff (Rhizopus Oryzae) can do that quite well. So it's a natural and cheap way of 'malting'
the barley.
Can you get hold of 'Rhizopus Oryzae'? It's used quite a lot in Asian food preparation/cooking (especially China)
I've never done this either
