Beetroot Berlinerweiss

As part of the first Six-Pack Challenge (to brew a beer with a root vegetable comprising no less than 10% of the grist), I had also decided to use beetroot in my beer. Mine was a beetroot APA and nowhere near as pretty. It turns out that the glorious red colour goes away when you boil it with a bunch of sugars and proteins and stuff...

Other Challengees created a Carrot IPA, a Sweet Potato Porter and a Best Bitter with Parsnip and Cassava. They were all good.
