    I never have time to do beer. Hell this year I didn’t even have time to harvest nettle!

    I am doubtful about this. Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste and aroma of stinging nettles, but neither seems a good replacement for hops. They’re not bitter, even a little sweet, and kinda nutty/umami.

    I’d rather see nettles as an addition (not complete replacement) to the maltiness.

    That said, lots of hop-less beers exist, whole traditions around it.

    I haven’t tried of course, and the video probably cannot answer that question either - or can it?

      According to him, it came out tasting like a somewhat below average lightly carbonated beer, with little bitterness without any hops. I think he did it mostly as an interesting experiment.

        Thanks. I really didn’t want to search through 37 minutes for this statement.

        I don’t mean to sound dismissive though; I’d love me some nettle beer with hops.

        All that said, most leaves get more bitter as they grow, i.e. more towards the end of the season. Hmmm…
