It may very well be one of the above links, sorry I am lazy.

I do recall reading somewhere that there was a method long ago for essentially baking a loaf as a means of mashing. In other words make a coarse dough from malted barley, wheat what have you. Bake it enough to convert the starches (mash) and then tear it into chunks, boil it with your hops (herbs historically), cool and ferment. The outer crust formed on the bread would be not good but the inner portion as long as you do not bake it too long/too hot would get converted.

Sparked an interest for me because I am also a baker. Never tried it though.

Now you guys have gotten into my head too. Last night I was watching Good Eats and I was thinking "I could mash those crackers"....

-Jellies and jams (I have tried but i need to explore it more.)

I made Joe's Ancient Orange Mead a couple years ago. I added a can of my mother in law's home made orange marmalade. It turned out very good. She always gives us a huge gift basket around the holidays filled with her canned veggies, fruits, jellies and jams. I'll probably try another one this year.

I've always wanted to make an Oatmeal raisin cookie stout... any ideas anyone?

I was contemplating an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie beer!!! I made up a recipe last winter, but never brewed it.

I'd say between 0.5# to even a whopping 1.0# Special B malt. Another .25# of Caramel 120L. OATS. How about both Flaked Oats *and* Oat Malt? And some of that Golden Naked Oats or whatever it is - it's supposed to be nutty and oaty and bready. And then, I would do a little cinnamon near the end of the boil. Maybe even a *small* amount, maybe 2oz by weight, of Molasses, to simulate the taste of Brown Sugar.... (Brown sugar ferments out too thin for my liking!) Hops are easy, 0.5oz or less of EKG or Fuggle or Tett or Willamette at 60 minutes, nothin' else.

MMmmm.. that sounds delish... i might just tweak that some and toss in some diced raisins either at the end of boil or into primary, but not sure how much flavor that might give.. don't want to add too much.
