Breakfast cereal beers???

This thread kinda reminds me of the Buffalo Wild Wings advert thread:fro:

Oof. Rough thread. Seeing things more clearly after a couple pints of honey nut frosted mini-wheat saison. Thanks for the info and apologies to the offended.

Ok seriously? I may just have my wits dulled by a few pints of Reno_NV's punkin ale, but that looks like a joke. But it does sound worth at least a pint.

"Hey guys, give me your input on this!"

"Worth a shot, but it's been done before, and will cost more"

"How dare you say anything negative!"

He is the choosy beggar...

I remember watching a brewing show way back where one award winning brewers secret ingredient was Grapenuts, so I decided to give it a shot several months ago. The final product was one of the best beers I had made (though to be fair I have only made around 30 or so)

For another one of my beers it was the only 'specialty grain' I used to give me a better idea of what it was contributing to the beer. Basically I found it imparted a toasted, nutty, caramel flavour, as well as some body and some deep amber colouring. Using more then 1.5lbs ended up making it almost cloying, though after a couple months in bottles it mellowed.

I don't really know if there is a specialty grain available that contributes a similar character to beers, and there could very well be, though I have yet to find it in my limited brewing experience.

I would take my results with a grain of salt, but considering how happy I was with those beers I decided to try it again in two more batches of IPAs I have sitting in primarys back home.

Not sure how well fruit loops would work though... :fro:

To hell with the haters, it's an intriguing idea. How about honey bunches of oats in an amber ale? I've toyed with the idea for years. Perhaps once I build my micro mash tun for 1-3 gallon sized test batches I'll work a cereal beer into my mini pipeline
