I am currently fermenting Ovaltine.

Waitasecondheredude.....

I taste my beer at every step of the process. Did you take a little taste at bottling time? Inquiring minds want to know

Nope. I gave it a good smell though. Surprisingly nice aroma. Mostly chocolate but there was some hop aroma.

Next time I'll do more than one hop addition. . . . if I survive.

I signed up just to see this through.
Thanks for contributing to a community with some lulzy experiment. Good luck, man. :rockin:

 

[HopLife]

Nice. Glad I found the thread before the official tasting.

Everyone, after seeing this thread, I did the same thing but I tweaked it a bit. The only stuff I could find was the new recipe of Ovaltine which has barley and malt extract but its not the first thing on there. Anyways, I did a 3 gal boil with 3 jars of Ovaltine and .5 oz of EKGs. Came out with 2.5 gal or so of 1.043 wort. It fermented down into the 1.020s (don't remember exactly). When I went to bottle I tried some and it wasn't all that bad.. It's bottle carbing right now and I think I'm gonna crack one.

Edit: Screw it, I cracked one open (in the name of science!) and tried it warm. Not bad! Not bad at all. I can actually say I'm gonna toss a 6 pack in the fridge and drink more this weekend. I used a whirfloc tablet and it seemed to have cleared quite a bit. It's still a little murky but its a beautiful brown/garnet color. The taste is like an average brown, kinda thin though. Has a mint tinge or some herbal tinge in the after taste.

 

[Brewskii]

Interesting!

Every time I see Ovaltine I read it in Frau Blucher's voice.

NEIGHHHHHHHHhhhh!

 

[tre9er]

Eeeeeexcellent

 

[Beer-Baron]

Hey everyone. I'll probably crack one open next weekend.

This is pretty cool, but you kinda stole Beer-Baron's thunder with that..

Oh noes!

He was inactive for over a week. I'm sure he'll put up a nice vid about it. Just let people know what my observation was.

 

[Boleslaus]

Did Beer-Baron's ferment down below mid 1.02's?

Maybe 1.018 - Not to far off.

 

[jyda]

I started reading this thread thinking about how many of you have been trolled, then went to thinking if it'd really work, then to sheer admiration. Dying to know he result.

 

[Beer-Baron]

For the record. I don't mind.

Just want to say I just read the entire thread and you've got my support. Great beer experiment (or best if it brings the zombie apocalypse!) :rockin:

And I want to see it in a glass as well.

Yeast Zombie Apocalypse in a glass....that reminds me

Seems to me a dead guy clone would do well here...

 

[EdawgTheMighty]

Awesome link there. We all have our favorites, but I'll keep their number 1 definitely.

And love the dead guy reference.

 

[fixitoscar]

entertaining thread but with no pay off. How does this stuff taste.

 

[squeekybobo]

I'm curious how this one will taste... If I told my family I was going to Costco to get a load of Ovaltine for making some beer, they'd probably bar the doors after I left the house...

 

[markcurling]

Argh I wish people wouldn't keep adding to this thread and teasing me with email alerts that there might be a tasting video!

I used to have a sweet shop and last year I fermented these, I hope your experiment comes out better!

[CastleHollow]

Love the experiment, looking forward to the taste test!

 

[tim2akat2]

+1 I really want to see how this comes out.

 

[wailingguitar]

Soon we'll be pushing the limit with Imperial Double Ovaltine...
