Just made 2.5 gal batch using nestle quick. Wort smelled awesome, just bubbling away. Will post recipe if successful.

so you have chocolate milk fermenting? I think youre making some kind of chocolate cheese not ale.

This sounds interesting. Let us know how it turns out, or even if it doesnt turn out, why not.

I seem to remember a HBT member fermenting Ovaltine a few years back. I don't think it ended well....

Either way, I'm eager to hear your results.

Edit: found a link

I assume you used Nesquik powder, which is mostly sugar, which will ferment out, lower your final gravity, dry the beer out and add alcohol. Along with some other stuff you probably don't want in your beer (emulsifiers, etc). If you want chocolate flavor, you should have added 100% chocolate, like bakers chocolate powder or bars.

Your right on that, just going to see how it turns out. I did hershey syrup stout, tasted good, little sweet, probably should have did yeast starter

I have doing experiments since being told how to brew. I consider it fascinating and frankensteinish.

Why would you use nesquik instead of pure cocoa powder?

 

[cjgenever]

More basic ingredients, like cocoa, will allow you to control the quality better. Happy experimenting!

There was a mead experiment back in the day using different chocolate sources and Nesquick was decided as the winner

Nestle quick --FAILURE. Tasted weird..friend stated>bleckeeee

 

[hunter_le five]

That is a disappointingly expected conclusion to this experiment.

Thanks for posting the results.

Those are pretty hilarious tasting notes. How was the fermentation?
