eggsBEERiment

Just read a thread about using rice, corn starch or sugar. And it was suggested that it might make a nice exBEERiment. One gallon batches using each.

I said to myself exBEERiment... eggsBEERiment....

Egg Flavored beer!

Scrambled Egg Pale Ale
Eggs Benedict Porter
Over Easy IPA
Hard Boiled Russian Imperial Stout

Would you mash the eggs, add to the boil or dry hop them?

Hard Boiled Eggs "pickled" in Stout "might" be tasty (i'm still not sure about this).

I don't think any of the others will end well.

I want a martha floccin' bottle of breakfast! Scrambled Eggs And Bacon With A Side Of French Toast Imperial Stout.

Bacon beer has been done. Toast taste is probably not to difficult. But EGGS???

As a kid I used to drink the local breweriies' dregs (maybe 50/50 beer/ trub, think drinkable Brewers yeast); half the time with a raw egg. I would drink your eggsperiment, at least once.

I think I just dry heaved a little. I would make a gallon batch of this, but go for it and let us know haha

So, then as a Boy Scout I was going through the Order of the Arrow ordeal.
Early one morning in the woods south of Stuttgart, each of us was handed a metal cup of reconstituted milk and an egg. "This is your breakfast."
I broke the egg into the milk and drank it, maybe in one swig, before they announced: "Here is your match."
I was then ordered to cook a second egg that I was not allowed to eat. Sunny side on a flat rock, it was pretty. I believe I was the only one who broke fast with at least half an egg.
It was hard not to laugh when we had to be silent.

I'll be the serious guy here - wouldn't the fat from the egg's yolk cause problems with head retention?

 

[Rhumbline]

That dull thud you just heard was Gary Oak's head exploding.

I would guess egg whites would clarify the beer. The yolks , I can't think of anything good that could come from this.

Radical Brewing has an unusual recipe for a medieval white ale that features egg whites. I haven't felt adventurous enough to attempt it.

Once your wort is boiling, I guess you'd just crack a few eggs directly into it as if you were poaching them? Let them cook until the yolks are solid, then fish them out and chop them into small pieces, and add the pieces back in for the rest of the boil. When you move it to the fermenter, run the wort through a strainer to keep the egg particles and hop sludge out.

slym2none already pointed out that the fat from the yolks might cause problems with head retention; I'm sure there's some sort of fining agent you can add that will bind to the fat, but I couldn't tell you which one.

I would definitely make it a high-ABV beer, the booze content would help keep any eggy bits still in the beer from going rancid (I think).
