I've seen the idea floated around before and was wondering what peoples results have been. I want to have it as the focus of my grain bill and then add some minute rice and Marris otter as well.
The basic brewing endeavors with Frankenberry and Count Chocula are available on the YouTube, if that's what you mean. Minute rice, Maris otter, + sugary cereal is sort of cryptic. What's your objective?
Minute Rice or brown Minute Rice work well as mash adjuncts, but many sugary cereals have too many preservatives and miscellaneous compounds to make it into my grist...and if mostly sugar, there's no need to mash it...just put it in the boil if you must.
Some cereals do have a lot of sugar, but they're not mostly sugar, though a few top 50%. The #1 ingredient is usually something like corn flour or whole grain corn. I wouldn't put those unconverted starches into the boil. OTOH, I probably wouldn't use breakfast cereal in a beer anyway.
There is a competition between my homebrew club and another club in the area to see who can make the best beer with 15% mash to be breakfast cereal. I’m thinking about throwing my hat in the ring with Cinnamon Toast Crunch stout but that seems to easy.
This idea is right up there with adding marijuana to your beer, except, in this case, there is no redeeming quality.
Neither would I...I'd do a quick steep at KO to get the sugar and flavor compounds...if I were to go this route at all.
Years ago, when I worked at the homebrew shop, we did a ‘brew a beer without brewing ingredients’ challenge for fun. Just stuff from the supermarket. The winning bee was a gruit made from flaked adjuncts and 75% grape nuts and bread yeast.
I think we all used to stalk the aisles looking for "unique" things to put in our beers. I've used pretzels in my mash, so I probably shouldn't be giving people TOO much shit for thinking about using cereal.
A guy in my hombrew club made a Cinnamon Toast Crunch beer that was stupid good. Stupid because no one thought it would actually be good....
Hmmm...I'm now trying to picture this hard lattice of starch material with sugar and flavory stuff sitting loosely in the nooks and crannies, just waiting to be rinsed away.
Actually I agree that the starches are probably less soluble than the sugars, but maybe not any less suspendable. But I guess there's one way to find out.
I know a guy who has made a Lucky Charms Stout for St. Patrick’s Day, and it worked better than I thought.
Dr. Beer is nationally known for his skill and knowledge of injecting BOTOX Cosmetic into the frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet. In some patients, injection into the neck muscles is performed to provide a more youthful appearance.
More than one million people have been treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic since its FDA approval in 2002. In fact, BOTOX Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. Isn´t it time you considered it too?
Proven. Simple. Effective. Ten minutes, a few tiny injections, and within days you will see a noticeable improvement. There is no recovery or downtime. You can even receive BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment on your lunch break. And results last up to four months. Individual results may vary.
Read on to find out how some physicians answer some of their patients´ commonly asked questions about BOTOX Cosmetic. Then talk to your own physician to decide if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you.
You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. The appearance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a week. By day 30 in a patient clinical study, 89% of patients judged the severity of their frown lines between their brows as moderate or better. Visible results can last up to four months. After that, you may be ready to return for a follow-up treatment. Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk for side effects. The most common side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. Other side effects include pain and redness where the medicine is injected, pain in the face, and muscle weakness. These effects generally occur within the first week and usually go away on their own. Your own results may vary – be sure to talk to your doctor about what you can expect.
The effect of each treatment can last up to four months – be sure to schedule your follow-up treatments in advance. If you decide not to continue with BOTOX Cosmetic, the area between your brows will eventually go back to its pretreatment appearance. How does BOTOX Cosmetic compare to other options? Compared to other aesthetic treatment options, BOTOX Cosmetic is relatively inexpensive. According to a survey by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, it´s one of the least costly facial aesthetic procedures. And when you consider the difference it can make in the appearance of the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows, you may find BOTOX® Cosmetic to be a great way to invest in yourself. BOTOX Cosmetic treats the cause of these frown lines between the brows by reducing the muscle contractions that cause the line to form over time. BOTOX Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. If you´re looking for something for that area between your brows, be sure to talk to your doctor about BOTOX Cosmetic.
The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between your brows. BOTOX Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of those muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows begin to fade.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein. It is a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a quick and minimally invasive treatment. Your doctor makes a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer the injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although he or she may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief – most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. You may resume normal activity immediately.
Any authorized healthcare professional can administer BOTOX Cosmetic, but dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, or other cosmetic physicians are generally more experienced. Your physician can help you decide if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you.
