Aethelmearc's Brewer's Guild http://lemur.cit.cornell.edu/~jules/SCA/Brewers_Guild.html (A slighlty out-of date page with some useful info never the less) The Bees Lees http://www.hbd.org/brewery/library/beeslees.html (Site Excerpt) Welcome to the first edition of The Bee's Lees. Most of the recipes in this collection are taken from issues of the Mead Lover's Digest, an electronic mail forum for discussion of mead brewing. Like the other brewing-related electronic forums (Homebrew Digest, Cider Digest, etc.), archives of the back issues exist on various ftp servers around the country. As the number of back issues of these digests grows, it becomes quite time-consuming for the average reader to go through all of them, looking for recipes. This is probably what prompted the development of The Cat's Meow (TCM), the brewing recipe-book culled from the archives of the Homebrew Digest (among other sources). TCM is huge, and contains several hundred recipes covering just about every style of beer-type fermentable. It even has some recipes for making mead. Debatable Brewer's Guild http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~pwp/tofi/bmdl_brewers/ (Site Excerpt) Here in the Barony-Marche, we debate many things about brewing. Such as ``What should we brew?'' ``Is that really enough?'' ``What should we drink?'' ``How much should we drink?'' ``Would you like some more?'' (To be fair, the emphases are on historical recreation, and quality over quantity.)

A quarter is defined as a unit of weight equal to 2 stones, or 28 pounds. It is also defined as a unit of dry volume equal to 64 gallons.

Ancient Brewing webpage from About.com http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa070897.htm (Site Excerpt) Many ancient Romans thought of beer as a beverage fit only for barbarians. They preferred veritas enhancing wine. Even they had use for hops, though, as a spring vegetable that looks (but, sadly, doesn't taste) like asparagus. The Sumerians and Egyptians, however, weren't such snobs, but they still didn't use hops in their brewing.
