Basically if you have a mixer it’s easiest but I emptied the droid sludge straight into the mixer and added a second cup of warm water, 4 pinches of salt, and I think 2-3 cups of flour. with bread it’s all ratios, but basically thicker than batter but not as dry as traditional bread flower. Whamo! no ones died yet I tend not to bake often but that looked bloody good, think the recipe is great, what a fantastic use of somerhing I just usually discard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might have a few names "Krausen" is a popular one. @Captain 3 Droids used it a couple of years back and I was thinking "must be a name he came up for it" but I have heard a few people use the word outside of this forum. Homebrewers hey, what a weird mob with their own language and rumour has it, a bunch of alcoholics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebrewers hey, what a weird mob with their own language and rumour has it, a bunch of alcoholics Sorry Rob, not quite correct. “Krausen” is the official brewing name for the reaction occurring at the top of the brew during fermentation and causes that “ring” around the inside. The sediment at bottom is officially called the “trub”. I do make my own names up when it comes to cleaning like “crap” 😊. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Brewing Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 Beer focaccia today! Basically just pick your favourite foccacia recipe, but whack a cup of trub & dregs in instead of where they say to activate the yeast in warm water and put it in. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously going to have to give that a go...I am looking at it and having an early 90s "Ham and Cheese Foccacia please" cafe flashback Just quietly, I think it is a disgrace that this country let that dish fall off the lunchtime menu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Brewing Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 My wife wanted to eat bread with some soup tonight. Last night I bottled my Irish Red Ale so I took a few tablespoons of trub and put it in a jar, added some sugar and flour and put that on the bench to grow overnight. This evening I followed this recipe from Tasteless Baker (⚠️ severe language warning if you don't like that sort of thing ⚠️) https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpJ6IBLpAHO/?igsh=ZmhsY3JtZ3J3bjVq Only difference was instead of adding dry yeast I dumped my yeast mix into the water, I CBA splitting it and shaping it so I kept it in a big damper loaf, and I don't have a pizza stone so I used the big heavy iron pot. Looks pretty good but I haven't tried it yet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasted like bread! Maybe a bit yeastier? Because it's not wild yeast or anything it's not sourdough (which is good because honestly I don't really like sourdough). A little big darker inside because it was a dark-ish beer (Irish Red) as opposed to like a lager. Didn't get the nice ciabatta air gaps, but I don't mind that. Probably need either the correct flour for that, or because it was one big loaf it was too heavy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Yeah pizza dough should go great. Again, either chuck a spoon or 2 of trub in instead of yeast, or save it in a jar and feed it like a starter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Another excellent recipe involving beer: Guinness Cake. As it says in the blurb, you don't really taste the stout, but it adds a rich, dark taste to the chocolate and in my opinion is the greatest chocolate cake of all time. I haven't actually made it with any brewart beers but I'm sure any of the stouts would be good! https://www.nigella.com/recipes/chocolate-guinness-cake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
