I am currently fermenting Ovaltine.

[TwiggyTwig]

Curious to see how this turns out.

Sub'd!

next time instead of hops, boil it with some spam. i don't know why, but whenever I hear of ovaltine, i think of spam.

Rock on! I cant wait to see how yours comes out

I made a GaP (Grocery and Produce) Batch yesterday that contained Ovaltine for the malt, I also used flaked oats and molasses, with turbo yeast. I think the turbo yeast might mess this up for me though.

Its bubbling away right now and actually smells really good

Here is a link to the page with more details on the recipe I used click here

Did you use a starter? If not I'm sure you under pitched, and your beer will taste like hobo testicles. Next time use mr. malty or your beer will crawl out of your carboy and slap you around.

- did I capture the right spirit of the experiment? -

I have to admit that since I picked up the paddle, I keep looking at things in the grocery store and think "I bet that would ferment". This is exactly why I love this hobby.

I see a variation of "Will it Blend?" videos on the horizon...

I hope you're kidding about the starter.

Its 1.5 gallons of wort to a full pack of dry yeast. There is no way this is under pitched.

I usually watch you and craig on you tube. That's how I learned about this experiment. It's been a while since I frequented here but I'm back. Tagscribed for outcome.

Thanks man.

Appreciate the views!

..and your beer will taste like hobo testicles...

I hope you're kidding about the starter.

I hope he's kidding about the hobo testicles.

So are you gonna be able to send in proofs of purchases for the decoder ring?! (A Christmas Story refrence)

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine? A crumby commercial?! Son of a b****!" -Ralphie

 

[skeaterbait]

Without the ring you can't read the messages in the krausen.

Without the ring you can't read the messages in the krausen.

I think this is what the Krausen message will say:

...your beer will taste like hobo testicles.

You guys are killing me. I hope to put an update up this week.

My question is do bottle it and carb it? Or just leave alone in bottles like a fine wine? Or would you just put the siphon hose in the oval-beer and lay on the ground and put the bottling wand in your mouth? What kind of hang over would that give? If you stop updating, I'm going to assume that your brain has coagulated and you've become the zed word.

I plan to rack this to 2 secondaries tomorrow and try and clear it with Gelatine. Then I'm going to bottle carb it. Thats my plan anyway.

 

[Brew_Force]

I gotta see some pictures of this!

This is hilarious. The video production in the video was hilarious. Subscribed.

 

[WestCoastHopper]

I hope he's kidding about the hobo testicles.

I hope you're both kidding.

 

[unionrdr]

I hope there's no head cheese in the beer. jk. I'm interested to see how much it clears up. Besides flavor when it's ready.

 

[Beer-Baron]

Gelatine added. Video up soon!
