Have you heard of the "Free Beer" project? It's an open source beer recipe that you can modify.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as I am always interested in beer news. However, the idea does not really make any sense. The beer, as their site says, is "free" as in "free speech". One example costs $2 a bottle. The freedom is just to change the recipe. But that makes as little sense as "free cake": everyone who knows how to bake has many of their own recipes for cakes. Anyone who knows how to brew has many of their own recipes for beer. Beer recipes are widely published, the difficulty is in the making, and in the getting of the desired ingredients. Anyone can design and brew their own beer, as long as the government where they live allows it. The free beer project doesn't add anything to that.

Yes i've heard of this.

This project was created to apply open software source methods to a traditional real-world product - what we call beer!

I haven't tasted this myself although i'm told it's good and it also has the added ingredient of Guarani for a natural energy surge.
