Brewed on Saturday! Airlock bubbling away rapidly within 12 hours of pitching 2 packs of rehydrated s04! Its going to be a long 3-4 months, but I'll update when it's drinking time. Thanks for the recipe Slim, I'm quite excited for this one.
Would Nottingham yeast be ok in this?
Thanks. I've never used vanilla beans, I have them soaking in vodka now, do I dump just the vodka or vodka and the beans for the second week in primary?

I just brewed this today and everything went great. One thing I am concerned with is that after I transferred the wort to my fermenter there was a scummy film on the top. I saw some other posts from people with the same problem but it was determined they used different graham crackers or chocolate. I used all the exact ingredients. Anyway, I skimmed as much of the scum off I could.
Anyone that has brewed this beer and had a scummy film on the top, how did it turn out? Anything I should do after it is done fermenting?
The same thing happened to my batch. Worst Beer EVER!. I don't know what is in the Graham crackers but it sure doesn't play well in beer.
I used Honey made graham crackers.
I used honey maid as well. I'm hoping skimming it will help. Did you bottle and it was still horrible? Fingers crossed this pulls through.

It's pretty much impossible for me to get honey Graham's whe I love (50$ for a four pack, which is the only quanity you can buy them in on Amazon) but I can get graham flour, you think it would work to just put the ingredients that I would use in graham crackers into the beer?
I'll be brewing a batch of this on Sunday, but just to be doubly sure, these are the graham crackers I want, correct?
Awesome, thanks!That's exactly what I used.
THIS IM SURE is an absolutely absurd question.... BUT has anyone thought of the idea of throwing some marshmallows into the boil!? What would that do!? Or marshmallow extract somehow. Idk. All I can think of with this beer is s'mores.
It's all sugar, I would bet it would mostly ferment out and not leave much flavor if any.
I soaked the vanilla beans in marshmallow vodka for one of the batches I did. That one came out pretty tasty.
Going to brew this this week. Just put a delicious witbier into the primary and figured I'd make another while I'm on a roll.
QUESTION ON THE GRAHAMS. I see a lot of people keep talking about putting these into the boil (I see some people are even putting them into the primary...what a mess!)....the RIGHT way to do this is to put them into my mash as if they were one of the grains right!?
