Re: What is the craziest thing you have brewed
I haven't gone too far to the dark side. I added some wheat malt and hops to Aztec Cerveza because I don't like Corona. It wasn't what I was shooting for, but made decent beer. I readily modify recipes to fit ingredients on hand, but I try to stay close: crystal 20 for 10, Munich for Vienna etc. I tried two hot pepper beers friday. One was "interesting", the other undrinkable.
Making beer and stew for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Never mind, there it is.

Infected beer that had what looked like a hairy eyeball staring back at me out of the fermenter. Which actually tasted fine - a bit funky but still fine - when all was said and done.
Don't fear the hairy eyeball.

Re: What is the craziest thing you have brewed
Raspberry Jalapeno beer
Orange Pineapple Hefe
Braggot with Buckwheat honey
Jalapeno smoked beer with 50% smoked malt
Monks of St Paul's Cathedral gruit with herbs and home malted oats
Kentucky Cream Ale with homemade sour malt
Ancient Egyptian beer with home malted emmer wheat and saffron
Watermelon beer
Pumpkin beer
Whenever I get around to it my next brew will be "Sumerian Beer" with 2 kinds of homemade sour malt (as well as some malted barly) and thyme rather than hops
I've got some whole "red millet" on the way to make some African banana beer with quinine bark, and some African millet beer.
Nothing too unusual...

Re: What is the craziest thing you have brewed

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
Edgar Allan Poe

A couple of times I used oak cubes in my English ale. I'm crazy like that.

Here's a pic. The color is from the saffron.

Re: What is the craziest thing you have brewed
You I remember, not if it was here or MrB forum someone posted a picture of a bright purple beer.
Re: What is the craziest thing you have brewed
I remember that one. I think it was Philm00x and it was a micro (Red Hook ?)not a home brew. Maybe he'll see this and chime in, it seems like he said it was okay but not great, something off the wall with boysenberries, possibly a sour.BeerRust wrote:You I remember, not if it was here or MrB forum someone posted a picture of a bright purple beer.

I know Swen posted a pic of General Zod from Yazoo that was brewed with Jolly Ranchers IIRC. That one was bright green.
