[Corkster]

okay... now I'm seriously considering trying a one gallon batch of ramen beer...... I think it could be done...... would likely be horrible to the most extreme end of the word.... but I bet it could be done......

what do ya think... ten packs of noodles for the wort?


ok...I'm just kidding... I wouldn't put my poor yeasties through that experience!

 

[IowaHarry]

[Chadwell]

WOW! You sure work at a pretty laid-back place! Must be nice....

:cross: I assume he meant it as, "When I mention to people at work that I brew" and NOT "When I mention I brew AT work" as in literally brew at work.

The question I would have would be... do you rack off the noodles into your bottling bucket? Or include them in the bottles?

I think you'd want to have 1 lb of 2-row in there for diastic power, I don't eat Ramen but if I remember right I think the salt is just gonna destroy any possibility of this being good. Mash low to try to convert all you can, I'd mash for a couple hours so as not to have any starch left in the wort.

Or include them in the bottles?

Definatly need to put it in the bottle for effect Of course I am not sure how long the noodle would retain its cohesion in the bottle before falling apart and settling in with the yeast at the bottom

Sounds like priming with Ramen.

"So how much Ramen do I need to add to prime my beer?"

I am thinking a Shrimp Ramen Ale might go nicely with seafood.

 

[Tsuyako]

he's your brother right? So next time he say's something like that punch him in the face....really its ok just tell mom he started it.



Has he even had a home brewed beer ?

Yes he 'said' he has but from not so very reliable sources. Oh and my mom, she'd jump into the game...or say it was our problem and walk into the kitchen to bake

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Just because his buddy made "beer" with sugar water and a teaspoon of ovaltine and a pack of bread yeast....

 

[Tsuyako]

Okay so if anyone really tries this, I want recognition for my brother insanity. And no he is not adopted and he's not really dumb either. Just uneducated in the way of homebrewing.

 

[Wallygator]

You really must tell your brother to stop mixing up the yeast with his homebrew. That means he shouldn't drink it out of the bottle, or pour the WHOLE beer in a glass. Just give him 1 beer out of your batch and if he ever asks for another send him to your LHBS.

I'd boil up some raman noodles, cool, then pour into a bottle with one hop pellet and some carbonated water then store in the fridge. I would store this bottle till your real beer is ready, then on drinking day, hand him the raman beer for a laugh.

I might just try that.

It could be that his "buddy" made beer with koolaid, malted milk balls and bread in a sock in the stainless steel toilet bowl/ fermenter in his "room".
