Stroopwafels in secondary

[Murphylee83]

I was planning on doing a dragons milk reserve replica, and was wondering what you guys thought about putting stoopwaffels in the secondary. If so any ideas on cooking them?

 

[rmr9]

I’m not sure that I would put a baked good like stroopwafels into secondary. I’m not sure how you’d sanitize them, you could maybe pop them in the oven to bake but I imagine they’d turn into a gloopy mess.

Are there particular flavors from the stroopwafel you’re after? You could try to achieve these through malt or subtle spice addition.

Apart from sanitizing, I would imagine they are made with a relatively generous amount of butter aswell.
That won't go well with beer...

 

[rmr9]

Just checked the back of my stroopwafel box and butter and palm oil are near the top of the ingredient list. I bet an amber ale with a couple crystal malts layered with a touch of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon would capture the taste well.

I wouldn’t, but try it. You might discover something sublime.

The result will be fat in the beer which will kill all foam plus unconverted starches which will be hazy and might be attractive for competing microorganisms.

I was thinking about adding water and boiling the waffles for a minute. Maybe just in the mash then? I’ve read where people had put it in the mash, and it seemed to work out, but none in the secondary. Just trying to get crazy with it

I would just eat them while brewing

I was just going to suggest something like that.

Or enjoy your stroopwafels while drinking your Dragon's Milk Reserve. It may do much better justice to either.

Eat them while brewing, dunk them into the beer when drinking!

Dammit, I looked up "stroopwafel" and now I must have some!

Oh man I love stroopwafels, got a few containers in the pantry right now.

For a beer, I'd either add them in the mash or do what others have mentioned and maybe brew an amber with caramel malt, vanilla, and cinnamon, maybe some honey malt or actual honey in the fermenter.

Either way, I can picture a stroopwafel with a small slice removed being a garnish on the glass, like an orange slice on a Blue Moon.

Man! They are good with some coffee

that’s adds a whole new perspective to it. Maybe you’re on to something! Maybe the new staple will be stroopenwaffle instead of oranges

Maybe a better idea!

 

[Murphylee83]

I would just eat them while brewing

Seems to be the conscensus thanks

More than likely that will be what happens! Thanks man!

Delicious!
You'd lay one on top of your hot coffee or chocolate mug for a short time, so they get warm and chewier. Yum-yum!

I see! A real stroopwaffel connoisseur! That's how you eat them.

How come you all know stroopwafels?
I thought that was something typically Dutch

They are quite common in Germany.

several (many?) years ago, United Airlines started serving them as the snack on morning flights. when the airlines all implemented cost-cutting several years ago, united ceased the stroopwaffels and there was a huge outcry, forcing them to bring them back.

 

[rmr9]

I used to work for a Dutch based company so we always had them in the office. Plus got to go over and work at the main site for a few weeks years back. It was pretty awesome!

Put them in a plastic bag, roll them with a beer bottle, dip mouth of beer glass in honey and rim the glass in stroopwafel crumbs.

Stroopwafels and imperial chocolate stout for dessert tonight

Cheers!

Saw this listed at my local bottle shop. Ha!
