Organic Green Beer

[NinjaBear]

Are their any adjuncts or additives that can be used to make a stable green color organically in beer?

I've used things like kiwi fruit, spinach, kale, etc during the boil to get a green Wort.

However they all fall out of suspension with the yeast during fermentation.

Start with green wort end with yellow beer. (Actually kiwi fruit beer worked well with the citrus hops I used)

Anyone know of anything that would impart a green color that would remain after fermentation?

(Obviously this would be a specialty beer for St. Patty's Day without needing to use those heavy artificial food colorings that bars use.)

Not sure on a source, but you might be able to find a natural chlorophyll food coloring. OR maybe try to add those other green foods after the majority of fermentation is over?

I've seen a Japanese beer that used seaweed to turn theirs blue

That would be impressive since most blue pigments in nature are pH sensitive and only stay blue in a base while fermentation creates an acidic environment that would make it turn red.

Cochineal and say your color blind?
