Candy and beer—a winning combination for some, and thanks to Brew Your Own magazine, we can all enjoy home-brewed Jolly Rancher Beer.
I’ve never brewed beer before. In fact, despite living in the south for the greater part of my life, I’ve never even made moonshine. If I ever do make a foray into home brewing, I might give this recipe a try. Anything that calls for four pounds of Jolly Rancher candy sounds fun.
Here’s the ingredient list:
- 5 lbs 2-row pale malt
- 3 lbs wheat malt
- 4.0 lbs Jolly Rancher Apple hard candies
- 3 AAU Saaz hops (aged) (60 mins)
- (3.0 oz./85 g of 1% alpha acids)
- 1/4 tsp yeast nutrients
- Wyeast 3278 (Lambic Blend) yeast and bacteria
- 1.25 cups corn sugar (for priming)
Details and step-by-step directions can be found at the Brew Your Own site. The process sounds a little too complicated for me, but if you’re a home brewer who loves candy, this recipe might be just what you need. If anyone makes it or has made this before, let us know what it tastes like!
