Yech!
for the record, the skittles, including the white center, was completely dissolved in the vodka before adding to the fermenter. The green are not lime, but are green apple. The beer is actually going to be bottled tomorrow with carbonation drops, and hope for the best.
I agree, thinking this may suck, but this stemmed from using jolly ranchers a year ago (fail) to a conversation on using peeps (flavor would be lost) to maybe skittles would work? Then researching skittles and finding skittle vodka. Then thinking maybe after primary fermentation is complete I could add it, and hopefully the flavor would carry through.
approx 200 skittles in 300 ml of vodka.
Wait wait wait...you dissolved the skittles in 300mL of vodka and added that to the fermentor? Sweet Jesus, that's gonna be some hot alcohol flavor in there! I'd be worried about stressing the yeast with the extra ethanol (since you were already at 7%) while at the same time adding a bunch more sugar for them to work through. I agree with what someone above said...this sound disgusting and I want to try it.
Omgosh has the share bottle been gifted already??? I would love to try this!!

I've done this. I've done it very well. It's very well received. This is my blog about the brew.
The only Skittles beer I have tasted was a Skittles Berliner Weisse at a local brewery that was very tasty....they also did a Nerds version.....the candies seem to work very well in light sours like that....
