Fo's Ovaltine Beer Experiment - How to Brew Ovaltine Beer

[GNBrews]

Something is wrong with your mic on the left channel. There's an intermittent crackle-buzz thing going on.

[weirdbeer]

@GNBrews I know. I did a terrible job on this video. The other ones in the series aren't bad though.

[MrCOLTSR2]

will prob taste horrible....but will be interesting...

[AgileTablet]

holy shit my ears

[Unclejona]

FO, you are a loon

I am anxious to see how this turns out :)

[homebrewer7]

I have brewed many beers using only herbs like combining Clover, Stinging nettles, dandolions, etc: 5 gal batches at a time. Great time at brew meetings and give aways.

[bigalincanada]

ha! i saw this thread on home brew talk i thought i was some kind of sick joke

[firebirdude2]

hahaha Why would anyone vote this down! Must not be a homebrewer...

[weirdbeer]

@firebirdude2 I KNOW!!

[Crypticx666]

[aikidojoe1]

when the wife and i went to brussels (beer heaven) we sat at a cafe and tried to drink what they had on the menu....but she drank a choclate beer i didint like it but she did.....i wonder if it will turn out like what she had? the beer was called le chauf or something like that :)

[weirdbeer]

[arrogantbastardale]

Weird! Hey sorry I missed you in Vegas. Did you have a good time?

[weirdbeer]

@arrogantbastardale Hey buddy. Vegas was awesome. I had no time to meet up anyhow. It was a non stop party. Next time! I love vegas.

[hattrick364]

nice! subscribed. cheers



[azuritet3]

interesting, i have to say i have been thinking about doing this for a long time. i even went out and got a bunch of ovaltine to experiment with. i just got done racking the other stuff i was making so i should be able to start on the ovaltine beer soon. ive been looking for recipes that include it but it seems like no one has really experimented with it to the extent that any complex and highly rated recipes exist. any body know what hops and yeast i should use?

[weirdbeer]

@azuritet3 Well I used Goldings because this is going to be dark like a stout. So I went for those. If I were you, I'd just use the same hops that are in your favorite stout. As for yeast, use a stout yeast. I went with the Coopers because I had it around, so it was pretty much free. I didn't want to put any more money into this experiment than I had to. I doubt it will be very good. But we'll see! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[mattyblues101]

Ovaltine beer?? ralphy from "a christmas story" would dig this....definitely a weird beer

[weirdbeer]

@mattyblues101 Thanks! I can't wait to try it.

[HokieHomeBrew]

[weirdbeer]

@HokieHomeBrew Thanks Hookie! We'll see what happens.

[LongDogBrew]

[weirdbeer]

@LongDogBrew Cheers to you too! I can't wait to see what I get. Its looking kinda funky right now. Very thick Krauzen.

[youthXattack]

[Rosecherie38]

[thegentlearts]

Can't wait to check out the end result.

[aphamd]

Yes. Yes!

[BillsNewGuitar]

I don't know what's worse...you for brewing it or me for actually wanted to try it...

[weirdbeer]

@BillsNewGuitar Probably you. haha

[conduct623]

FO,your just a regular mad scientist aren't you. LOL

[weirdbeer]

@conduct623 darn right

[Bush6800]

I would be interested on the taste of that after ferment and conditioning. Good vid man. Shit sound effects though.

[weirdbeer]

@Bush6800 Thanks! Stay tuned for the tasting.

[1979timdog]

i did something similar with malta goya! it didn't turn out to bad either!!!

[weirdbeer]

@1979timdog awesome. I dont know what that is though

[1979timdog]

@weirdbeer malta goya is a popular spanish drink and it's pretty easy to get in the states. it's pretty much just unfermented beer!!!

[glitch777]

haha! thats awesome

[weirdbeer]

@glitch777 I KNOW

[MrAndysGotIt]

I wonder if you'll get any head and lacing from that Ovaltine? We'll have to wait and see!

[weirdbeer]

@MrAndysGotIt lol. I think we will.

[CozzyB]

Oh wow the 1.032 was with that little water to :O, guess not much malt in that really then,

[weirdbeer]

@CozzyB Well 400 grams to 1.5 gallons. I'd say its about the same as regular DME in my opinion.

[CozzyB]

Please stop the canned sound effects it makes me cry, nice videos man.

[weirdbeer]

@CozzyB Sorry for making you cry but I doubt i can be stopped.

[kyral210]

@CozzyB sounds like that dick Take Some Advice

[immolateus]
