Cookies and Cream Ale

I got it into my head to try and make a cookies and cream ale. My idea is to add orea cookie crumbs to a Cream Ale. I've ben reading alot about adding fruits and fruit extracts, but haven't been able to find any good feedback on this topic. Any suggestions for quantity, how fine a powder, or when to add (I assume durring second stage)???

Any and all advice welcome, I'll be sure to post my results,

I'd think the fermenting process would do funky things to an Oreo.

 

I don't suppose funky things might include aking a delicious beer....
argh, I could go for a peaches and cream ale

 

its late at night and i'm just getting home from work... but i know i've heared or read somewhere about a grain, probably wheat because i think it was in a wheat recipie i saw this, that added kind of a biscuity flavor.  maybe i'm just crazy and i made all that up cause i'm tired but you might be able to go along those lines and see if there isn't something like that you can add instead of actual cookies.  i'm not an extreamly reliable source as i haven't brewed nearly enough yet so i don't know if it would change the profile of the beer since your trying to make a cream ale, but maybe someone with more knowledge might get an idea now, or enlighten me on how far off i am. ha ha

Cookies don't sound like a good idea to me. I am sure also that there are some preservatives in the oreos that may hinder yeast performance.  Doctoring a cream ale with cookies is just wrong.  Cream ale are supposed to be super clean and I just don't think the concept would work.


I would suggest a milk stout (sweetend with lactose) and adding chocolate powder to it.
I may have to try that myself now that I am thinking of it.

 

You mean a bad idea like my chocolate mint stout there Brewchez?????

 

Yes chocolate mint is a bad idea.

 

lol, what about a mint chocolate?

I might go for a peaches and cream instead... yargh, decisions decisions

cheers,
AK

 

Apricot!!!!!!!!!!!!
