Alfalfa adjunct?

[Dustybiggers]

As any one used alfalfa as an adjunct in a beer. If so how did it turn out?

I have smelled alfalfa when feeding it to livestock, it powerfully grassy smelling. I don't think it would taste good in a beer.

...unless you were planning on giving the beer to horses.

(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

This has been on my experimental-brew list for a long time. For country boys like me: there is nothing more nostalgic than the smell of fresh cut hay in the summer time. Go for it!

My plan has been to make a wheat ale with a slightly aggressive hop finish. Then to add the dried alfalfa to secondary. The thing that concerns me is making sure the alfalfa is sanitary...

Let me know if you try using alfalfa and how it went for you!

Miller Lite reminds me of straw/hay...
