I tried out brewing a recipe for Treacle 'Ale' found in an old book I discovered in a charity shop.

A chap called George Washington in the US gave me a recipe or receipt as he called it for a small beer using wheat flakes , molasses and hops of no fixed measurements but as its a mild try og at 2-2.5 % .

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

Did you try it?

[@batrastardly4574]

Didn't waste my time watching this ... I got a really good morning laugh out of it!

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

Ha ha thanks I think! Still turns my stomach when I think of it

[@AndrewLynch9]

That end tasting is pure comedy!

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

I'm having flashbacks as we speak!

[@AndrewLynch9]

@@Kveiksmithdaryl Dry boaking lol

[@HaplessGingerBrew]

Sounds amazing😂 I take my hat off to you for giving it a bash👍

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

Ha ha cheers! I just wish that I didn’t brew so much of it! Most of it became very familiar with my sink…

[@ChrisKirtley]

I wouldn't boil - in fact, don't heat at all. It will make the beer darker. Just pour all the syrups in cold and use a paint stirrer.

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

You're right, although I'd say even that isn't worth your time!

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

😂😂🍻😂😂 I thought you had tried "Treacle" with malts but after watching the video it appeared it was just sugar-flavored water and hops unless I missed something? I'm sorry you did this but I'm happy you did and I've learned a lot as I was told Treacle if great with stouts and I'm also told if you are "Brave" you should try Treacle which is the brave part really scares me. Crazy but entertaining.

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

Treacle can be great in Stouts and bitters but from this experience I’ve learnt that you don’t want it to be the only fermentable sugar!

[@Al-Brewster]

@@Kveiksmithdaryl yeah, I'd rather use it in a stout myself. The advice from Greg Hughes' Home Brew Beer book is to "use only in small quantities to add depth of character to high-alcohol ales". I'm thinking of using some blackstrap molasses in a "Rum" stout recipe I'm developing. Great experiment though...you did it, so we don't have to, and we are forever grateful for that. This is why I brew small batches (10 Litres | 2.5 gallons | 20 pints or less) when experimenting so it doesn't hurt as much when I have to dump the batch.

[@andybetts23]

You just make me LOL 😂

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

Cheers! Just looking at the thumbnail of this video makes me feel ill again!

[@andyn3532]

Sounds almost like a rum wash

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

I just read into Rum Washes and I think you're bang on! Though it'd be an insult to rum if I said it tasted like it!

[@RustyHomebrew]

yeah, keep a bottle for a year. Just in case.

[@Kveiksmithdaryl]

I’ll absolutely do a follow up in a year from now, but I’m not expecting miracles!

[@squawk3120]

Yearly update?
