AG4 - Cereal Killer **PICS ADDED**

[BrotherMalice]

So after being "inspired" by this thread with the help of fbsf a recipie has been formulated and shopping has been done, I have really no idea what the resulting beer will taste like but it should be an interesting experiment and as long as its not disgusting there will be a pin full going to the spring thing

Anyway on to the recipie:

AG4 - Cereal Killer

Grain Bill

2.4kg MO
100g Crystal Malt
960g sugar puffs
510g rice crispies
500g cornflakes

90 min mash, 90 min boil

Hops

30g Fuggles @90
20g Bobek @30

There were many cereal based jokes in the inspirational thread linked above but if anyone has any more or better/worse ones feel free to add them here in with any comments you may also have :)

Aiming to get this on this evening from about 7 ish.

Wish me luck!

Good luck BM! Here's to the first THBF Breakfast Beer! :

...Does it need a chaser of Milk Stout?

Mash is on now & mermaid is doing her job, missed my strike temp, was aiming for 67/8 and got 64, have added hot water in the hope that it will help :)

This is seriously nuts (Crunchy Nuts, perhaps) :shock: :shock: :shock: . But can't wait to see how it turns out

I'd be slightly concerned about the amount of salt, there may be nearly 10g in that lot.....

 

[BrotherMalice]

Smells very sweet, will the salt do anything bad to the beer? :shock:

 

[calumscott]

You're a bl**dy nutjob, BM!!!

I love it! Will you have to have your beer with milk? :lol:

 

[BrotherMalice]

Well the boil finished about 10 mins ago, leaving it for a bit, then into the FV for pitching in the morning :)

Not sure I fancy it with a milk mixer though...

 

[fbsf]

Excellent work BM! Can't wait to see how this turns out - I reckon it's going to be a memorable one, but just hope it's going to be for the right reasons. :

 

[carl_saint]

Lol ill look forward to seeing how this turns out!

 

[BrotherMalice]

Anyone going to the Spring Thing will get to taste it :)

Still too warm to pitch yeast this morning so will be pitching when I get home from work :?

Anyone going to the Spring Thing will get to taste it :)

I look forward to it :thumb:

 

[BrotherMalice]

I have 20L in the FV, not sure what I will end up with out of it, need to measure the SG when I get home.

Killed one of my elements making this beer though - Selling a load of stuff on ebay at the moment so may have to get something shiney to compensate my self :)

Not sure what this is?

Seems like it is layered:

Looks interesting...

Got a SG of 1.056 and it didnt taste as bad as it looks, smells like cereal....

 

[Tomcat]

well I have heard of serial killers - but cereal beer :wha:

going to be every intersting how this one turns out

 

[BrotherMalice]

Well its bubbling away nicely, I have been away nicely at about 18 since I pitched the yeast, back home now so the temp will probably go up from here as the heating is going back on but hopefully the 18 will have helped avoid anything unpleasant happening in the brew :)

 

[BrotherMalice]

Well it looks like it is settling more now, initially it looked like there was going to be about 5l of **** at the bottom of the FV it has settled down to about 1l :)

 

[fbsf]

Nice - sounds like it is going well... so keen to hear how this turns out!

 

[BrotherMalice]

I am getting rather intregued now, looks like its going to be rather a pale beer, will be good to see it in a pint glass though, good or bad :)
