A recipe adapted from Stephen Harrod Buhner's book "Sacred, Herbal, and Healing Beers." Cardamom has been, according to Buhner, used to treat flatulence and other stomach ailments. The yeast was completely unspecified, so I tried Red Star baking yeast (which I've used for wine in the past) and didn't love the outcome. I'd recommend using some sort of ale yeast - nothing specific, but one that's meant to ferment beer :)
