The small home brew club that I am part of is doing our second "Iron Brew" competition. This batch I need to use donuts and concord grape jelly in my beer. I figured I would use the donuts in the mash and rack the beer into a secondary with the jelly. The jelly is from Trader Joe's with minimal additives and what not.
With that being said, these two ingredients (donuts and concord grape jelly) need to be noticeable in the beer. Meaning you should be able to taste them. We can brew any style we want, but you should be able to taste these ingredients. I am torn, do I brew a lighter beer like a wheat beer? Or should I go with a stout? I do have some coffee malt that I could incorporate into the beer that I think would go well with the ingredients.
So with that being said, which style would you go with? Any inputs or suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!
