I actually brewed the "beezleboss" recipe from byo a fees year back. It was a partial mash that used Mt Dew for the extract. It was quite drinkable, but it did NOT age well.
The Ovaltine experiment wasn't really a success or a failure.
It fermented, but it couldn't really be described as beer. In my opinion, it wasn't about sanitation it was more or less Basic Brewing 101 regarding the choice of ingredients.
...and whatever grain will give you the cereal undertones that Ovaltine has.
Is it possible to make a beer that tastes like ovaltine, perhaps using some other method?
There's plenty of nutritional value already present in grain malt.
It makes sense to consider more nutrition can be concentrated in a heavier, low-hopped style of beer but some sort of compromise has to be made when you're trying to meld and preserve the product of two dissimilar drinks. This is where malt extract and a wise amount of allowable lactose WITHOUT MILK comes into play.
To get a chocolate, malt-flavored beer it has to contain low to moderate amounts of bittering hops, chocolate malt, moderately dark caramel malt, and dark processed cocoa low in cocoa butter and oils. Milk and cocoa butter makes a nice chocolate bar but it isn't a good ingredient for flavoring beer.
A simple recipe variation for English brown ale, porter, or stout would've done nicely but some people like re-inventing the milk stout.

Sounds good. Which recipe do you recommend?
I won't recommend a recipe for this kind of brew as I tend to avoid milk products in my beer.
I'm mildly lactose intolerant so mixing anything with yeast and milk products can be sort of uncomfortable. *~~*
What a stupid stupid question.Just came back to this thread after 10 years. I forgot all about my experiment.
Should I do round 2?

You can find his videos of the process on YouTube (pretty entertaining) but his recommendation at the end of the last one, after tasting, was "Don't do it."Maybe you could summarize
That's sort of what I was expecting. Since I have no desire yet to use Ovaltine, I certainly don't want to waste time watching video's or digging through all the mindless replies here to find the nitty gritty posts that matter.You can find his videos of the process on YouTube (pretty entertaining) but his recommendation at the end of the last one, after tasting, was "Don't do it."
