Bottling with blue gummy sharks

Dude, try using the search function. There are hundreds of posts on this already.

 

answer:
only idiots use gummy sharks.
gummy bears, on the other hand...that's BRILLIANT!!

 

i hear your complaint about the search function on this site. so no clue what others have said before.

i will tell you that a local brewery makes a gummy bear ale. the colours are crazy electric. i don't recall if the bears go into boil or ferment or dry hop. i can find out if you like.
the simple question i'll ask you is this: in a gummy bear, what is/are the sugars used for priming? how much of those sugars will you have i.e. how will you hit your target CO2?

i'd just toss a lb into whirlpool and use it for a ferment versus using it to bottle. less mystery. more SCIENCE!

 

If you don't know how much sugar will ferment out with whatever you add to your bottles, you risk overcarbing /undercarbing/exploding bottles.

Thats pretty much what will happen.

Throw these in and start a new beer style..."Laxative Light Ale"

 

I think hard candy would dissolve better over time.. I'm sure if you poured one of those beers you'd be left with some nasty looking, blue gelatinous shark at the bottom of your bottle. So if it were me, I'd try hard candy. But like others have said just make sure you find out how much fermentable sugar is in each piece. Compare the sugar content, to the sugar content in these:

Ahh, I was just trying to be funny since your idea seems so obscure. I would save this thought for the future and test out a few bottles during your next batch or two. Try a quarter of a shark (by weight), a half and a whole shark. (Or a range of more appropriate amounts - I have no idea how much sugar is in each shark.) Make sure to put the bottles in a garbage bag in case they blow. Then your following batch, you can dial it in even further. Good luck.

 

Only an idiot would not take the chance to sour their beer with sour gummy worms.

 

If you bottle with gummy sharks, your homebrew privileges will be revoked for one year.

 

Sounds like a good way to waste a batch of beer but maybe it'll taste bomb?

 

You have a turkey pan coolship?

 

Bwwwwahahahahahahahaha... if I was at home with a beer in hand it would have come out of my mouth onto the screen on that one ROTFLMAO

 

or an apple?
and a shed?

 

not really Rogue-esque. more like Hill Farmstead meets Simple Jack.

 

I'd dry shark and sink them in a bag with a rock from your garden for maximum extraction.

 

woah...
what if he filtered and primed his beer by putting an actual live shark in the carboy?

woah....
