I would love to hear about the beer can thing. I used to know someone that swore to using beer as a fertilizer but at the time I was renting so I never paid much attention.

This is probably the recipe:

1 can beer
1 cup epsom salt
1/2 cup ammonia
2 cups water

Mix together and add 1/2 oz to 1 gallon of water, feed every 2 weeks.

I would NOT recommend using this for a fertilizer.
