I’m sure this had been asked before. But, how do I go about making my beer green for this great day?
Brew a pale coler beer, then add green food coloring.
Could I add the food coloring at anytime, and how much would you add
Add it to the glass, about 1-2 drops.
I would think as long as there is no additional sugars in the food coloring, you could just add it at the bottling stage. Test the number of drops, on a similarly colored commercial beer product to determine how many drops per bottle you will need.
I just don’t get it.

If you’re really talented you just spell you name in vomit then there’s no doubt.

Maybe I should make different colors so I can see who it is that puked in my yard. LOL!
Has anyone added the food coloring straight to the keg?
I have been curious since im going to Keg and Irish blonde ale, but not sure I have the balls to do it… lol
I was tempted to do this in a keg for St Patricks day as well. I would imagine it would wash out just fine but that said, I have yet to do it…
Just use 15% green malt. briess has a decent one.
:mrgreen:
The Irish seem to get a good laugh (at our expense) over this all American custom.
I don’t know…adding green coloring to beer just seems to disrespect the beer, if you ask me.
But then again, you didn’t ask. :shock:
But I will ask…How and when did this typically bizarre American tradition of ‘green beer’ start anyway? Anybody know?
After all, I always thought beer in Eire was black! :cheers:
Not that I am condoning this kind of behavior, but use blue food dye Remember, yellow and blue make green. Yellow and green make murky green.

Probably overglorification we American’s love! Anything Irish is green. We wear green hats, green shirts, green socks, green underwear…obviously, we would make a beer green too!
i have to make a correction, make a pale beer and add BLUE food coloring, not green. remember basic art class. yellow and blue make green
sorry, didn’t see that it was already posted
Perhaps you could serve the beer in green mugs.
If you want to be authentic, don’t do it. But a good stout will be just fine. Wear a green hat, or paint a shamrock on something. But please not the beer. Just me.

I bottled an Irish Stout last week. Should be ready just in time. Beer for St. Patrick’s Day should be black or red.
