Apple Jacks in the Boil????

[Brew_and_ride]

So I am trying to think outside the box here and wanted to try something new. Been reading on some people experimenting with breakfast cereal in their brews. I was contemplating trying to add apple jacks into my next brew. I thought about adding some to the mash and then maybe some more towards the end of the boil. Anyone have any reason I should not try this in either the mash or the boil?

Thanks!

If you did it I would try doing it in secondary first. Reason I would be hesitant about doing via mash is the uncertainty of how certain chemicals will react when going through fermentation. I doubt if the apple Jack's uses all natural ingredients. Lol.

There are similar threads to this but they were talking about using Graham crackers.

Gotta worry about the preservatives effecting yeast health as well.

I would use them in the mash, and I would be fairly certain that the preservatives in a single box will not have an effect on yeast health for a 5 gallon batch.

that said, i am fairly certain that you will not even get a taste of applie jacks if used in the mash. or the boil. but still funny.
