Oyster Stout, the picture says it all

[diverpat]

I brewed the BYO Black Pearl Oyster Stout, this seems like a perfectly normal ingredient. My brother in law does a Feast of Seven Fishes every Christmas, he jokingly asked for a beer with seafood in it, he'll either be stoked or horrified.

That's badass. Post how it turns out.

There's a nano brewery in Asheville (located in a seafood restaurant) that brews an oyster stout - I always just assumed they used just the shells as a calcium addition to the water. Maybe they add actual oysters too? Curious to see how this turns out.

You should 'dry oyster' in secondary.

I wonder how oysters would work in a Randall for serving?

 

[diverpat]

I'm gonna try both of those fine suggestions!!!

 

[dramirezpa]

Anyone ever try Yards Love Stout?

Ha actually stick a bunch of oysters and EKG in there, I bet it would be pretty good! That would be so badass if a bar did that, first beer would be so money.

Maybe a can of smoked oysters at flameout for the special, smokey je ne sais quoi?

Upright Brewing blogged about their oyster stout a couple years ago. They used oyster "liqour" and oysters in the boil. They say dry hopped it with shells

I had a delicious oyster stout at The Porterhouse brew pub in Dublin over the summer, that was brewed with oysters.

From their website:

Oyster Stout

Alcohol by volume: 4.8%

Grain: Pale Malt, Roast Barley, Black Malt, Flaked Barley.

Hops: Galena, Nugget, East Kent Goldings.

Brewed with fresh oyster. A smooth drinking aromatic stout with a discernible but unidentifiable aromatic aspect. Not suitable for vegetarians.

my buddy actually enetered an oyster stout in sam adams longshot comp this year. how much oyster did you use? he used 16-20 oz(cant remember right now) judges said to use more oyseter on the next batch.

let us know how it turns out. I personally was not a big fan. but that is what makes this cool different storkes for different folks.

I only used 10 oz in 5.5 gallons based on the recipe. I also added 1tsp of calcium carbonate to the mash to simulate shells, who knows if that is enough to make difference. I'll let you know how it turns out in about 1.5 months.

I tried it on tap the other day. Quite tasty. Didnt get much oyster flavor which i guess is a good thing

 

[unionrdr]

I wonder how the oysters tasted after they were taken out?

That's what I want to know. Can those bad boys up and sell them! Oysters boild in wort? Sign me up!

 

[Whippy]

I think it sounds disgusting. ... and people say Reinheitsgebot is a bad idea! Pfft

 

[unionrdr]

Maybe add the left over oysters to some fried rice?!

I am making my house stout tomorrow, and throwing in a dozen of the biggest oysters a local chef could get me, shells and all. I do not think I am going to chuck them, being that they will open up during the boil. Or should I?

 

[Goblism]

There is a brewery in MN that makes an oyster stout
Top Side™ Oyster Stout - Lift Bridge Brews - Stillwater, MN

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

I don't like oysters to begin with so the idea of chucking them in beer sounds awful. Waste of perfectly good stout IMO.

 

[scotched]

That is just horrendous. I want to try it.

This was my reaction.

Sick bastards, that's what you are...

Chuck them, like, at a wall? That might open them up, but shucking should get you better results.

 

[passedpawn]

The pic in the OP is great. I love oysters. I'm liking this. Thanks. The idea of a true oyster stout makes my mouth water.

 

[sudsmcgee]

This thread makes me want to make my morel mushroom beer I've been meaning to try.

Chuck the oysters in the garbage, then just brew a stout....yummy
