I added heavy cream to my wort!

If you want some head you can always blow some bubbles in it with your straw.

for some reason I am thinking there is a better way to get some head

 

[Genjin]

Depends on how long you've been married

I don't think they have Wi-Fi in hospitals, do they?

We may have to wait until he's released from the emergency room to hear how it went.

Well, you know whatever gets her going...

 

[annasdadhockey]

Sounds Tasty.

Fixed it for ya.

Hilarious


BTW who voted for the top choice? Finally, a vote of confidence!!!

 

[mattd2]

I think DFH, not SA, would be a better brewery to compete with when brewing a banana cream ale! At least DFH might actually try this

 

[user 19629]

Am I the ONLY one who gags at the thought of fermented curdled milk in my beer?

You are not alone.

 

[JonM]

Next time, if you want creamy flavor in the beer just add lactose.

Only if it's underattenuated and overhyped.

Subscribed! Sounds, um, interesting?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I love mad science, and I will taste just about anything once. If you pull this off, I think you deserve some sort of medal or trophy.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Bilk!

 

[bcgpete]

Next time maybe try what this guy did. He seems to have had great success in the bananas foster area.

 

[Rivenin]

there is such a thing as "fermented milk" alcohol. believe it or not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaand <--- this one sounds interesting.

hope that helps!

One time, I left some milk out of the fridge overnight. Curdled, sour, and spoiled. Fermented milk isn't something I'd drink on purpose!

(I don't like keffir, and the yogurt I eat is lacto fermented).

It won't hurt you, though, just taste terrible.

I thought you made solid fermented milk and actually eat it! You add a lot of salt though from what I've heard

As for the original experiment... sounds like it could work out, but if it curdles then you might be in a bad position. Heavy Cream is a ton of milk-fat though, and is close to lactose free.

 

[yeastluvr]

The thought of opening my latest brew and dumping in some heavy cream is going to give me nightmares. I would recomend serving it slightly warm, especially on a hot summer's day. I could be totally wrong but I cant imagine this wont sour over time.

 

[bigbeergeek]

I voted that this beer will be the best thing in the world. Kudos on the fearless measure of cream.

 

[Yooper]

You bet I do! I use things like lactococcus lactis, lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, lactococcus lactis subsp. biovar diacetylactis. Sounds gross, doesn't it?

But I do NOT add yeast and leave it at room temperature.

"Fermented" with lactobacillis is different than "spoiled", I'd say.

 

[FRS]

Subscribed. I'm pulling for success here... but I am a little disgusted by the idea, haha.

 

[bottlebomber]

I dunno... This is pretty interesting actually. In theory if he boiled the cream the bacteria which would normally sour it should be dead. I'm not sure how pasteurized store milk is by comparison, but it might actually work. You can buy canned condensed milk, it doesn't ever go sour for lack of bacteria. I am intrigued. Of course we have yet to see a picture to verify the OP actually did what he said he did.

Hopefully today I will move it to the secondary, and there will be pictures! Still no sour smells or tastes to report, and its been a week. My plan is to skim all the junk off the top before I transfer.

 

[thejakester]

I Am begininh to think my beer won't have enough cream taste since its all seperating out. I'm toying with idea of uping the alchol to around 15%and adding cream before bottling, just for a few bottles incase I ruin what the beer gods have thus far preserved from catasrophe.

 

[acidrain23]

Call me crazy, but wont the acidity of the beer curdle the cream, resulting in disgusting curds in your finished bottles?

Crazy and correct. There are better ways to make beer cheese.

Hmm possibly so, some experimintation is in order. Is it too late to toss some milk sugar in there in search of my creamy flavor?

No experimentation necessary. It will curdle.

 

[PhelanKA7]

I'm horrified yet intrigued. I am picturing a micro arms race going on between the bacteria that wants to get at the cow fat and the yeast. May the best microbe win!

 

[FRS]

Got any pictures of this 'junk' on top?

 

[homebrewhaha]

Ha - You asked for pictures of his junk!
