While making my recent wort for a hefeweisen batch I noticed that I had a large bag of carrots in my fridge that weren't going to last for very much longer. So guess what I did...... that's right I threw in a carrot to my boil. Just one. Didn't go crazy.
The natural sugars that a carrot contain are actually ideal for brewing most types of beer. Additionally they are fairly neutral when it comes to pH manipulation.
The end result was velvet mouthfeel and a slight variance in overall color.
So next time you feel randy and want to experiment, go on and throw a carrot in there!
