Some different powders I might try...

[Dexter101]

Hi guys,

just going through my cupboards and I have found a collection of powders and wondered if anyone had used any of the following in brews?

Am I correct in thinking best to check there is no fat and also to add it post fermentation in order to maximise flavour transfer?

I have:

Liquorice Powder- https://lakridsbybulow.co.uk/produc...6HAA-DPS6KN1b-WSKmnqjM7iDmnYJqNEaAppHEALw_wcB

Maca Powder
Cacao Powder
Spirulina Powder

Now some of these (spirulina!) may not be suitable for use but am thinking of adding some of the others into 5l samples of some brews over the coming weeks.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of using any of them.

Otherwise they will probably go in the bin as fed up of cupboards being cluttered!

I've had a beer with spirulina in it. It was very green.

Wow, didn't think anyone would actually use that. Taste any good?

Honestly? I have no idea. I was well on by that point. Was a total gimmick beer.

fair enough!

Graham Wheeler used liquorice root in one of his beers as a secret ingredient.
I imagine the powder will work the same way.
