Glitter Beer

I’m in the “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” court.

I have thought that so often when reviewing recipes....

I'm using S-04 to give the beer a little body. Wheat beer yeast would be nice, but I want this to be all about the hops. I'm using Mandarina Bavaria, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic. I think they'd get lost behind the banana and cloves.

I would imagine viscosity would make a difference in suspension so a Dextrin rich beer maybe? 04 should leave a little fluff but sounds like rousting the keg or bottle will be needed.

Agreed, but as with most things in life, it won't hurt to try it out. (Especially since it's a wife's birthday request)

Think I should throw half a pound of maltodextrin or some oats in there? It's about 5% abv and pale, so I don't want to chunk a bunch of caramel malts in there.

Well if it's for the wife....by all means... you gotta do it!

I think I would mash on higher side and get it over with. The sooner the better so you might get rid of the sparkle before Christmas!

Christmas? ‘Tis the season for sparkle!

Had a little fun at my club meeting tonight. Sent this around.

Ok. I'll admit. That one actually looks kinda cool.
