2. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning.

4. The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.

For LA Homebrew Manager Donovan McClelland, the brewing process begins in your head. After the brewer has an idea of taste and color in mind, the preparations work backward from there. The person brewing the beer breaks down the flavors based off of ingredients that will produce the desired characteristics and gathers them. “The best beer you can make is the one you think of,” McClelland said. Now, anyone can learn how to make beer from their homes with a class taught by LA Homebrew. McClelland will be leading the class this Saturday, which will teach attendees how to brew an American Pale Ale style beer by using a method of brewing that involves getting sugars from an extract. “It’s something that will be pleasing to just about everybody,” McClelland said. “The method

University to receive $10M from Athletic Department

STAFF REPORTS news@lsureveille.com LSU's Athletic Department will transfer $10 million to the University this year, the department announced in a news release Monday. “Our athletic department is sincerely committed to supporting the academic mission of the university, and we’re extremely proud to transfer over $10 million this year,” said Director of Athletics Joe Alleva in the release. “These funds provide vital resources for our students, faculty and staff, and they help to sustain LSU as one of the top research institutions in the country.” Since 2012, the Athletic Department has contributed $7.2 million per year to the University, a number set in the Athletics Fund Transfer Policy by the LSU Board of Supervisors. According to the policy, each year the department receives a surplus, a part of that surplus must be added to the annual $7.2 million, according to the release.

AgCenter part of initial bid to produce marijuana for medical purposes BY DAVID LAPLANTE dlaplante@lsureveille.com The LSU and Southern University Agricultural Centers are first in line to potentially research and grow marijuana plants for medical use in Louisiana according to Act 261, signed into law June 29. Gov. Bobby Jindal approved the designated schools with the first right to refusal to grow state-sanctioned marijuana. Recreational use of cannabis remains illegal in Louisiana, and if the schools accept the invitation to grow the plant they will likely be strictly regulated. The University did not active-

ly seek involvement in the bill, said LSU AgCenter Director of Communications and Public Relations Frankie Gould. “It was written into legislation the day we found out about it,” she said. The AgCenter cannot speculate about its potential involvement in the production of marijuana because it is waiting on state agencies to return regulations for the agreement. Because LSU and Southern are both listed in the bill, they could decide to work together or respond independently if they accept the regulations and direction of state agencies. If the Universities choose to refuse a

contract with the state, negotiations will open to private bidders. It is unclear whether the production could be used as a profit center for the Universities or if the finances would be statecontrolled. Potential production is still far in the future as state agencies research the implications and requirements of the project. Under the new law, the Board of Pharmacy will work with law enforcement and the Louisiana District Attorneys to define the reach and direction of the potential production. Gould said LSU will not be able to make any deci-
