I wonder if anyone has done something similar. I have an idea of brewing a beer with beets/carrots/turmeric/ginger; like a health drink but with low quantities of alcohol. The following is a recipe I threw together for a 5-6 gallon batch. The Veggies (carrots/ginger/turmeric/lemons/beets) would be juiced, and the resulting mulch mashed with the 2-row and oats. The juice from the veggies would be added at end of boil. The citric acid is to lower the pH of our water supply to ~ 5.2. I imagine the resulting color will be deep-ruby red with hints of orange/yellow. I believe the O.G will be around 1.030 but it's hard to be sure with the veggies. I'll be using a grainfather brew system and a 7 gallon SS-Brewtech with a brewjacket for fermentation control. I use San Diego Super Yeast as my house yeast, and I'll ferment at around 67F-69F. Any thoughts/Suggestions?
