Trub!

Trub! Weird stuff!

 

[voodoochild7]

Did anyone here ever taste trub. I don't know why I did but the first batch I did I tried a teaspoon. Now I try one from every batch I haven't done many about 6 but I find that by tasting the trub I get a sense of what the aftertaste of my beer is gonna be like. Am I wierd that way?

You guys have been enjoying too many home brews. You're killin me!!!

I like to taste my beer every step of the way, right after taking my gravity readings. Gives me an idea of the evolution... trying to put together a database so I can analyze what happens... wow Im a geek

 

[homebrewer_99]

I sample it all the way. Not a geek, just curious.

Marmite is yeast extract, so I figure if I take the trub ad water boil and reduce I may end up with my own Marmite/veggimite.

What do you reckon?

Beer flavoured marmite. It'd be good for gravy.

One word: "Beermite"

And I think all you yeast eaters are CRAZY. But then I Like crazy people. All my friends are crazy, and I'm crazy, so I guess, since "normal" is a term relative to the average of a group, then I guess really, we're ALL normal.

Kind of disapointing really. "Crazy" just sounds cooler than "Normal".

 

[Orfy]

I'd find it worrying if someone said I was normal.

You can buy yeast extract pills from health stores, It's full of Vitamin B complex and loads of B5, which just so happens to be what alchol depletes from our bodies. So homebrew is better for your health and wealth and sanity than comercial brews. Win Win Win

I have heard that marmite was originally just that; would be tossed out trub.
Enjoy!

i thought about eating a spoonful of the trub one time (was concerned over an off flavor in the wort and was trying to decide it it was just the yeast I was tasting.)

However, after extracting my spoonful I made the mistake of looking at it too long. I quickly decided that I didn't want to chew on it after all.

Gravy.
This is my recipe.

The juices from a roast beef or chicken with the fat strained off.
1 stock cube. 2 pints of water (Or 2 pints of stock)
1or 2 teaspoon of marmite (optional)
A little gravy browning if required.
chopped thyme and rosemary

1 tablespoon of flour
Salt and pepper

Bring to the boil and simmer until reduce and thickened
Pour over a Sunday Roast dinner.

One variation is to add red wine or onions. It's grat served with mash potato and sausages.
