Beer made from Kashi Cereal?

[bkpsych]

I eat a lot of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, and I like beer. I have also been brewing some complicated and expensive high gravity recipes lately, and would like to try something cheap and easy. I was wondering if I could mash a box of breakfast cereal, add some hops, pitch some US-05 and be good to go?

What's the price per pound of Kashi? I doubt you'll find it saving you money.

I get it for $5 (15 oz.) in a bodega, a bit less in a supermarket. 296 grams of carbohydrates per box, 72g protein. I'm thinking of doing a one box one gallon boil and checking the gravity. I could wind up with a decent points per gallon figure, which I could compare more easily with other ingredients at my LHBS.
