Now I'm alarmed! I'm scared of asking for it in the chemist now! Please explain before I make a total fool of myself!

I've heard about nettle beer too. Anyone any ideas for that? If it involves weird ingredients like citric acid (I've led a sheltered life!), could you please add where I might buy them.
Thanks in advance.

Regards, Chris
