I think this may wind up being a color enhanser for an upcoming brew…
What a lovely pyrope color to add to a beverage and the starch in them should
be as good as any pumpkin or yam…or packing peanut.
Anyone ever try em?
I have made wine with them.
I’ve never tried using beats, but a local brewery in Southern California has. The Bruery in Orange County California http://www.thebruery.com/ brewed a Valentine theme, beet red beer. I have no idea how they used them but the beer was bright blood red and tasted a bit earthy yet good. All the girls were so into that beer, I’ve never seen so many women drinking beer.
The Bruery is a good thing…
;D I knew there was a good reason to try this!
You may be surprised. A friend made a wheat beer that used lots of beets. No red color or flavor from the beets whatsoever.
Magic Hat Brewery in VT made their summer brew Wacko using red beet sugar I believe… made the beer PINK! I took a picture of it for some friends… let’s see if I can figure out how to post it here.
The color of the beets may make a difference. The red beets we grow stay a deep purple along with the juice even after being boiled or pickled. I may have to try a few in a beer too. What the hey. I’ll let you know how it workes out.
