Has anyone seen any data that says you can fortify your suds with
vitamins, minerals? I'm interested if there's any way to do that.
Maybe the only way is to put fortified breakfast cereal in your mash?

Beer, particularly home brewed beer, is very high in vitamins
naturally. When one buys a "B" complex tablet, one is buying the
dregs of a brewer's fermentation vessel.

It is not required (or allowed in the US) to label the nutrient value
of beer. People might actually start drinking it for health reasons.
Yikes!

Off topic for sure. There does seem to be a positive correlation
between engineering and beer brewing. One for alt.beer.home-brewing
or alt.homebrewing

And if anyone is curious about the specific vitamin content of
beer, they need look no further than the legendary nutritional
information panel that appeared briefly on the six pack
carriers of Grant's Scottish Ale from Yakima, Washington.

Legendary? That's right, when the brewery made their the
nutritional information public back in the early 90s, (after all,
even bottled waters are required to display it), they got a call
from the Feds asking them to cease or desist, or something
like that. To this day, no beer carries any nutritional
information on its packaging.
