#106 - How to make Beer Sorbet (PLINY the SORBET)

The recipe for PLINY THE SORBET.:

PLINY THE SORBET

Simple syrup (3/4 cup of water, 3/4 cup sugar)
1/4 cup grapefruit juice (approx. half a grapefruit, juiced)
one bottle (1 pint) of Pliny the Elder (minus one sip for tasting)

Open up the bottle of Pliny the Elder and let it decarbonate for at least 30 min. Meanwhile, put the water and sugar in a small sauce pan and put over medium high heat until the sugar has completely dissolved (approx. 3 min.). Chill it.

Chill the grapefruit juice also. Once Pliny the Elder has decarbonated, mix all the ingredients together and keep very cold in the freezer until everything is ready.

Mix in a ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions, approx. 30-35 min.

The end result will be a very soft textured Italian ice. It must be further frozen overnight in the freezer to achieve the proper texture.

Have you ever had Lagunitas Pale Ale? It has amazing grapefruit undertones. It might make an amazing sorbet.

@TopBeerTV Ya I have. Actually, their IPA would be even better. Maybe even their Hop Stoopid.

[chemicalcraig69]

would you recommend using turbinado for the simple syrup or is it too dark? I try to avoid processed sugar if I can help it.

[yuichituba]

@chemicalcraig69 Turbinado for the simple syrup would work.

Did you hear the collective sigh from us East Coast beer geeks as u poured the beer into the syrup! If only i had enoughy access to Pliny to make sorbet!

[yuichituba]

@BeerGeekNation Hahaha, I understand. You should try making this with some of the Double IPAs you have out there. Like ST's Gemini.

[LeJimster]

you didn't do a taste test! I'm disappointed :-p

[EssThree]

@LeJimster

Yeah! I really wanted to see the eating!

[realaleguide]

Thats cool, im going to make some dessert, Cheers

[ReliableNow]

I think i will have to invest in a ice cream maker.

@chefhbeer Is Succanat hard to find? Agave is a plant genus. Is there a specific species that yields the best sugar?

[chefhbeer]

@chemicalcraig69 Turbinado is almost processed the same as regular sugar. The last bleaching step is left out. It is almost the same on the Glycemic Index as white sugar. Succanat from Wholesome is better option unrefined option.. But I like using clear organic and raw Agave for the best results. It has the least amount of taste and is very low on the Glycemic Index.

That looks fantastic!
