I'm trying an experiment when i have some free bottles. My folks have chestnut trees at their farm- today i picked half a sack while i was there.
Planning on gently oven roasting them, then smashing them, then BIABing with the resulting crushed nuts. Thought i might go with a few kgs of nuts and mash at normal temps for a fairly long time.
No idea if it will work, or what the resulting 'wort' would taste like. Would proceed with normal processes once i have got the chestnut wort, probably just ferment with us05 at 18ish degrees.
Anyone tried anything similar? I'll post results in the coming weeks if anyone is interested.
