At Back Channel Brewing in the twin cities they serve beer out of a bowl. Warms it up a little and gives you lots of aroma for double and triple IPA's.
I think this was the difference between our estimated gravity in the actual. It was difficult to estimate what the cereal was going to do to the gravity. And I think our video editor used the estimate, not the actual.
Have you guys ever read Stephen Harrod Buhner, "Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers." It's such a weird book that I read when I was getting into brewing, but he uses crazy adjuncts. Cereal will seem tame in comparison, but it might be worth a look. Great video, keep them coming!
This reminds me of when I was at Ohio State in the 1970s. I took a Coors (brought from Colorado by friends) and poured it on Rice Krispies. I only did that once. But I will be making an experimental gallon of Fruit Loop Hazy Pale Ale soon. Cheers to variety.
You guys are awesome! I have your brew system and your recipes are great! Had the system for a couple years and I have had no issues in making LOTS of beer. Thanks!
Malört is the swedish name for wormwood, the herb that absinthe is made from. I guess the guy who started making that liquor is a swedish immigrant. These herb liquors are quite popular in Europe, there are quite a few varieties.
One of my go to homebrew recipes is a cereal brew, an IPA with a Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes addition which I do quite regularly and have enjoyed every time I've brewed it. I've seen a few stout recipes similar to this being done by a few people and they all seem t enjoy the final results, so this fills me with bit of confidence to have a try of one in the future. Good video and a great looking beer. Cheers 🍻
@@ClawhammerSupply Well, Crunchy Nut is my favourite cereal to begin with, because I like the sweet flavours that comes from the honey, which I thought would work well in a beer. As the style I brew is an IPA, I figured such a light, sweet flavour would compliment the lightness of the beer. With the quantity of beer that I generally brew (4 litres) I only put include a small amount of cereal in my recipe, but it is enough to where you can smell and taste the honey come through, but it doesn't clash with the flavours from my chosen hops. I'm going to be recording a video on it soon as a batch I previously brewed is ready to drink.
Very nice! Having seen all the crazy pastry stouts etc that people brew really wasn't expecting this to be anything but good. Especially when you put all that lactose in there
at 8:22 you can see it says Newair, so it's just a beverage/wine fridge. They usually have a 40F to 65F-ish temp range, so pretty much the whole range below room temp that you'd typically use for brewing.
If anyone's wondering what Chicago Malort tastes like. Imagine when your done throwing up and you get that bitter yellow liquid puking out at the end. That's Malort to the T!!!!
Here in Sweden we drink schnaps or snaps as we call it with, flavored with Malört the flower, basically every midsummer, easter and christmas, but it´s not bad as you describe it. I bet the drink you guys have is a relic from the swedish imigrants that ended up in the northern part of US.
Hi after 60 min meshing the spice wasn’t iodine neutral. How have you avoid this? I added another 30 min meshing to get iodine neutral but it really work than I mashed out with 78 degree Celsius
I made a stout with Reece's puffs cereal but it didn't really impart the peanut butter flavor I was looking for. Any thoughts on how to add peanut butter to beer?
There’s also I liquid flavoring you can get from your lhbs. I think the liquid flavoring adds more PB taste but imparts a very slight slick or oily aftertaste.
@@thomaswoods6413 When would you add this in the brew process? Mash, boil, or age over fermentation? Also I have heard of some breweries using peanut butter powder is that the same as PB2?
Negative. Fun fact: If you add fermentable sugar...it will be fermented (turned into alcohol). It's very difficult for normal yeast to ferment lactose, so it sticks around and provides sweetness that normal sugar will not.
Let's see how many comments about Back Channel Brewing pop up here. Love it or hate it, you can drink a fresh NEIPA out of a bowl there! Glad the beer turned out for you guys. It's really nice when a bad smelling wort turns into an amazing beer. Cheers guys!
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one to catch that. I've had OG's come out that high before and knew straight away that the final ABV was going to be higher.
I think we used the projected ABV instead of the actual measured ABV (it was hard to estimate the cereal in initial calculations and we came in a bit high).
I love your videos, I really do, but whats with chucking the grains somewhere in a corner of your backyard? And be super cheeky and happy about it? I get that they are bio degradable but do you really enjoy having a pile of rotting garbage close to your house? Just start a proper compost and use it to fertilize your home grown hops ;)
