Brewing
red brew:
i was an F-15 contractor for McDonnel Douglas in Saudi Arabia back in the day. Out of necessity I learned how to brew beer using non alchohol beer as a base. Had to ship in specialty grains and hops disguised as pet food. Not anywhere near world class beer but not too bad. Also learned to golf there. Swedish rock company had a crushed rock golf course. You teed off...........found your ball. put down a hunk of astro turf and hit again. The greens were sand packed with used engine oil. Once done, they had a 6 foot wide broom and you swept a couple of passes around the flag and moved on.
Jack:
So did the beer contain alcohol considering it was from a non-alcoholic base?

And they’re still flying them. My son is finishing up his training on the F-15E!
red brew:
I would take the non alcoholic beer and add honey and sugar, boil it really good and then I had some specialty grains and hops to add. it would take about weeks to ferment out really good and then I would bottle it in liter soda bottles and sell. I think my gravity readings used to show right at 6 percent at the finish. My last 2 years there I was up at Dhahran on the Gulf and I could go to Bahrain and buy malt extract and that was a serious game changer.
Where is your son going to be working E models at? I work as a contractor here at Nellis and we still have E models but just finished shipping out all of the older C models to the Guard
Cheers boys

He’s slated to be at Lakenheath when he finishes up at the beginning of June.
