8$ wheat bush beer

[2brew1cup]

the main ingredient in Malted milk is Malted Wheat and Malted Barley extract. The residual ingredients are mostly sugars and corn substrates that will be broken down as fuel during fermentation. It is more our less your Barley/Wheat Malt. the fact that is milk lends a bit to the body of the beer. Its not powder once its boiled into the wort. it is malt and some simple sugars by that point.

I greatly respect this recipe. I don't know if ill make it, but I might. I like the idea of brewing with things that are commonly found in the supermarket. And I like what this stands for. I would like to see other recipes not involving a trip to the LHBS. Im sure during Prohibition this is exactly the kind of thing people were up to.

 

[cootball]

Plus if this works out, it would be a great "Post apocalyptic/zombie infestation" beer recipe

Haha my thoughts exactly. Glad I'm not the only one with this in my list of pros to home brewing. Without a LHBS this is absolutely something I'll be working on during the end of days.

Hmm... I might try this for my "camp beer". Next year, I want to make a beer while camping on the camp fire, then leave it to ferment for a few days and have it ready to drink before the trip is over. I'd use less sugar though.

One note though, I have to agree that brewing this is not really building experience for you. This is something you should view as an experiment rather than a building block. I recommend either extract kits or partial mashes to grow your experience.

Where do you get wheat bran? Is it in the cereal aisle or do you get it at a health food store?

 

[2brew1cup]

Usually the health food aisle. But it doesn't run more than a buck eighty something double what you would need.

 

[charesty]

Had to pick up some stuff at the store for dinner tonight and honestly looked around for all the ingredients of your bush beer. May take me a few trips but on my list.

Good to know, that changes my perspective on it.

Is OP a troll?

 

[HH60gunner]

Lol.. I actually got a kick out of this recipe. I probably won't run out to hurry up and make some. Especially since I'm in afghanistan for a year and can't drink, but I think little inventive things like this are fun and neat, and out of the norm. I salute you, oh proud maker of piss water beer lol. This sounds like one of those things I'll probably make just for ****s and giggles though one of these days. I've got enough fermenters why not, then I can just save it for my bud light drinking friends.

I have began siphoning into my secondary @ 9/9/11 7:50 EST.. before i have to go to work

Pictures would help the cause greatly.

I'll admit I was highly skeptical at first, but as this thread continues I must say I'm becoming slightly more intrigued. Initially I thought this was either a joke or some high school kid (the idea, the grammar, the username, the signature line, etc.), but the language the OP continues to use in his posts indicate he clearly does have knowledge about the process.

I doubt I'll ever be so intrigued as to actually make this, but I do want to see where this goes. And yes, please, post some pics.

I cannot imagine that wheat bran, tea, and that much table sugar fermented with Baker's yeast would taste anything like beer.

He didn't say it was beer, he said it was Bush beer.

I would bet if you invert the table sugar it will produce a cleaner end product. I use invert sugar in a lot of my high temp mashes and it works well.

 

[2brew1cup]

Ill give it a shot in round 2!!

[NWMOBrewer]

Pics I may try this. Anyone try it with brewers yeast because they ddb't want bakers yeast? my beer usually lasts a while

 

[2brew1cup]

Ill try it with ale yeast next weekend. I have to bartend a wedding this weekend.

Did you ferment this in your toilet bowl? Don't hate...I make jokes

 

[PijanyPole]

Burn her anyways!

 

[lumpher]

sorry, but i ain't gonna knock it, since i ain't gonna try it

 

[HH60gunner]

and I salute you

Actually I'm over here as a civillian now. I separated the AF last june after they denied my retraining back to my first AFSC as a comm guy. So I decided to get out and do comm on that outside. So here I am as a contractor over here now. ****ty place, but the pay is good.

That fermentation space is currently in use. Got an award winning trippel in there.

I like the spirit behind this. Experimenting with out of the ordinary ingredients often leads to neat stuff. I'm to darn new to home brewing to really know much about what would make this good or bad really but based on my extensive reading and limited experience I don't think I'll try this exact recipe. I may however have to try something in a similar spirit, something made on the cheap, a BMC price tag with an actual beer taste.

 

[kgrant01]

I am going to brew this concoction up this weekend. Subbing a few items. Is anyone else not really interested to see how it turns out?

 

[RobWalker]

I always think stuff like this will be endlessley useful if nuclear apocalypse ever happens. scavenging and all that lot...

Do it and post pics, I think more than a few here will admit they're interested in gutter beer. :rockin:

Oh yeah, incredibly interested. I can't wait for some pics and tasting notes.

How long to ferment out and prime?
