where are the updates to this thread?
Just stumbled upon this. Brooklyn Brew Shop put out a recipe for a beer called Carrot-Pils (ha-ha) that was brewed with carrots. Never tried it myself but maybe worth looking into .I am brewing a ginger beer right now, and got to thinking about other roots that one might brew. Carrot immediately came to mind.
I'm thinking, brew it just like one would ginger beer. Cook thin slices of carrot in water with sugar, almost like a carrot tea, and then ferment that...just like for ginger beer.
I might give it a try. If I do, I'll post how it comes out.
I've heard that carrot juice makes a nice wine. I've never had the um, guts, to try it, but why not?
Let me know if you want some recipes- I have an old book that has several. It calls for carrots, boiled and squeezed and strained, but I'm sure the juice would be a time saver. One of the recipes calls for 1 cup DME per gallon, and a couple of them call for 1/2 ounce "dried hops".
Hey im trying to develop a recipe for a carrot beer and was wondering whats the name of the book??
