Avocado Flavor Extraction

No idea... but then again I have never had anything avocado flavored but an actual avocado. Im curious as to why? Avocado is the last flavor I would want in a beer. Oil and water really dont mix .. seeing as how avocado is so fatty. Know what I mean?

 

Interesting experiment. To me, avacados are all texture and little taste. Are you sure you don't just want a beer flavored with lime, salt, pepper and chilis?

 

And cilantro! Guacamole beer.

 

avocados seem to me to have a high oil content. extraction of the oil would probably be the first thing I would try. if I wanted avocado oil in my beer. press the avocado under extreme pressure. not to make a paste but to extract the oil.

you might get good results, or at least some flavor, if you soak avocado in vodka. alcohol extraction.

good luck with this one!
Cheers.

 

Did someone say Guacamole beer?

ETA: The problem with avocados is that all the flavor is bound up in the fat. With this beer, I just used oats to supplement

 

Avocado honey, nice touch.

 

This is the fist thing that came to mind.

 

The flavor of avocado is fat, which is something that will be difficult if not impossible to capture in a beer.

 

So how did it turn out? How was the Avocado flavor?

 

Drewbage: Avacado honey is a great idea. I've found it has a very strong and balanced honey flavor.

OT: It may be best to replicate the avacado flavor without using avacado. Think pumpkin beers that use butternut squash in the mash but no pumpkin.

The only times I've felt that oiliness in a beer was in heavily wethopped ipas. I don't think that's what you're going for.

 

It was interesting and had avocado notes from the honey. Tasted at the Falcon's booth at the San Diego NHC 2011. Drew was Mr. saison at that one.

 

Bottle/keg condition with avocado honey?

 

A fat wash a la @ryane ? http://ryanbrews.blogspot.com/2011/10/fat-washing-using-fatty-or-oily-foods.html
