Raw Vegan brewing.

Somebody make it happen.

 

[brewingmeister]

Will there be bacon wrapped jalapenos?

I am so down with this! :rockin:

No boil berliner weisse.

 

[dlaramie08]

Wouldn't the yeast make it non vegan?

 

[caiafa]

raw excludes fermentation I think

 

[keesh]

Jesus, really? That is ridiculous.

Yeast is vegan. And for raw temperatures just can't go above 92 -118*f (varies depending on what raw diet you follow).

Meh, depends on how the person looks at it, it could easily be non-vegan if they consider the exploitation of a living organism as being against their belief system.

I know a guy who believes this way, I just think it's silly.

All of my vegan friends drink beer...though we did send some people searching for vegan beer once..they came back an hour later, unsuccessful

 

[neosapien]

we should all just start sneaking meat products into all the vegan diets and brew them porterhouse porters.

Does he eat fruits and veggies? Those are living organisms.

how about you do it wiseguy. Sounds icky to me.

My thoughts exactly.

So you wouldn't have to worry too much about fat messing up head retention, but i'd still use campden tablets on the vegans before racking the beer onto them in secondary.I bet the beer will taste like patchouli.

A vegan beer though is not too difficult to do, just brew as normal then instead of using gelatin clarifiers you use something like Irish Moss as your clarifier, and that would be the only real step that may cause issues for a vegan in a homebrew situation. Unless they see the ingestion of yeast as being an issue, then they just need to give up on life.

An all grain beer really doesn't leave much to not be considered vegan.

 

[terrapinj]

Vegan is the avoidance of animal or animal by products, yeast are fungi - beer is vegan unless you use certain fining agents like gelatin or isinglass

Raw however would be the issue, I believe the temps used in kilning would no longer constitute raw even if you found a means to not boil

 

[xmacro]

This conversation is entertaining, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my steak dinner with a side of veal parmesan

 

[theveganbrewer]

Yeast is vegan. No animals, no brains, no muscles, no feelings, etc. Most homebrew is or can be vegan without animal fining agents. Just make sure there is no honey.

 

[brewingmeister]

So, I don't use animal products in my brew...does that get me any closer to the bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and chorizo?

Wait, what? Are vegans against honey now?

EDIT - googling it, it seems honey isn't vegan because it's "forced slavery" . . . I guess soon they'll be protesting to give bees the right to vote.

Honestly, these fads are as confusing as they are retarded.

 

[Xpertskir]

Lol...forced slavery...absolutely priceless. I wish I had honey slaves

 

[NervousDad]

Aren't all plants pollinated by bees, so isn't that slavery.

 

[MalFet]

The hostility towards vegans here is pretty bizarre. Considering how marginal homebrewing in the wider world, you think we'd be a little more sympathetic to people with weird food preferences.

 

[BamaRooster]

If bees are forced slavery then couldn't the use of yeast be a form of forced fungal slavery that we incarserat and breed to our own designs?

 

[Bobby_M]

Bees would do that in the wild anyway. I think the vegan view is more about stealing the honey reserves. I wonder if there are vegan bears that shun other bears for raiding a natural hive for the honey. At least human bee keepers know how much honey the hive actually needs for winter-over and leaves that behind.

It is a actually simply because honey is an animal product, and vegans don't eat any animal products. But some vegans will eat honey.

This has been an educational thread.

I'd like to hear more about the raw/unheated thing. Is that a nutrition thing? (heat destroys vitamins) or a cruelty thing? (burning evil fossil fuels)?

If it's the nutrition thing, I get it for veggies, but not for grain. Raw grain is fairly toxic...it's the malting, mashing, boiling and fermenting that makes it more tolerable to our systems.

Ehh... I'm not hostile towards vegans in general, I'm hostile towards the ones I've met. I know it sounds bad, but I've not met one kind vegan. Ever.

I had a course in college with a girl who was a vegan. It was a philosophy class. A question could be posed about the morality of the seatbelt law and the girl would answer in the same form every time: "I'm a vegan, and..." And she had the most holier-than-thou attitude about everything. Nasty looks any time you expressed a differing opinion. Ugh.

HOW DOES THAT RELATE?

Anyhow, like others had said before, vegan is the easy part. Raw food diet, uhhh, good luck.
