Turn N/A beer into beer with alcohol. Possible?
Ok, I'm going to try to put some ideas & simple items together & try it here.
For my curiosity's sake only, of course. I wouldn't want anyone to do anything improper, or God forbid, illegal.
i need to pass some of this info to my friend who is going to afghanistan next week.
Ok, here's the idea I've come up with, trying to keep this process simple.
I'm not sure how warm the room temperature should be, but probably under 80F.
I haven't done this, but will be starting tomorrow, and will post updates.
Let's call it April Fool's NA Ale.
Tweaks, comments, advice, as always, welcome.
Equipment required:
2- 1 gallon glass jugs, one with a good re-sealable cap
2'-3' - food grade 3/8" (or so) plastic tubing
A balloon or something similar
Supplies:
1- 12pack NA beer
Cane sugar, corn sugar if available.
Bread yeast
Process:
Clean/sterilize a jug.
Pour in 7- 12oz beers, let it go flat. Meanwhile
Pour 2- 12oz beers into a sauce pan and warm, don't boil
Stir in 1# cane sugar, or 1-1/4# corn sugar allow to cool
Add to gallon jug. Add 1 teaspoon yeast, give the jug a good swirl.
Place a balloon on top of the jug. If it inflates too much. i.e. looks like it might burst,
release some, not all, of the gas.
When the balloon will no longer inflate, remove it and siphon the beer into another sterile jug.
Being careful not to include the yeast on the bottom of the fermenter jug.
Now you would have, flat, warm, aprox 6% beer.
If you prefer your beer carbonated, continue.
Take one flat, warm 12 oz NA beer (probably not hard to obtain in places like Arizona),
and mix in 2 level Tablespoons of sugar.
Add to second jug, mix and seal.
Wait a week or so, refridgerate until quite cool.
Open, hopefully no gusher.
Have ready a large container, like a 1-1/2 gal pitcher.
Make ONE slow, smooth pour down the side of the pitcher,
trying not to disturb the yeast in the bottom of the jug.
Transfer to glasses.
Should be around 5.5% Alcohol By Volume
If anyone else is thinking about trying this, you might want to start about a week behind me, so I can correct my mistakes as I go.

Second that 1n1m3g. Good to see folks supporting those in uniform regardless of ugly politics.
I will third that - thank you!!
Hopefully we can help you out with your dilemma. You will find many knowledgeable, creative people here.
For bottling you could try reusing sanitized plastic soda bottles once or twice. Make sure that the cap is on tight. Not recommened, but it'll work in a pinch, seeing that this isn't good beer that we're talking about.
Yeah, the soda bottles would work a couple times.
You'll have to start the siphoning process into the first bottle, and use a binder slip, or a pair of pliers to stop the flow and change bottles.
Not a one person operation.
Still have to pour carefully into a glass, to get the beer off the yeast.
I got started, will post an update in a while.
Here's where we are now. 
I chose Busch because it was cheap, I can handle regular Busch, and I could compare, Busch NA, Reg. Busch, & Modified Busch NA.
And, yes, the black balloon is left over from a birthday party.
LOL I love the picture!!
I love this thread. It gives new meaning to supporting your troops.
24 hours later, we have lift off, or blow up, or whatever. This puppy is going. 
I've decided to go with soda bottles right after racking to a second jug & adding the priming sugar.
Wondering if we could do anything to improve the taste with priming sugar, like honey, fake maple syrup, etc.
