I got ahold of a ton of organic, health breakfast cereals that are (mostly) all natural. They seem that they would be completing (alone) but I would/could add white or brown sugar if necessary. I plan to bring to boil two (same) boxes of cereal for a 5 gallon mash believing they already have the enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients for the eventual EC1118. I've read all the posts in this section and can verify that any/all flour are grain flours and to allow for a vigorous ferment. Below are 5 of the 15 kinds of cereals I acquired. What am I missing? What can you suggest?
#1) Organic 'corn puffs' - Ingredients: Whole grain corn meal, corn meal, cane sugar, and sea salt.
#2) Organic 'crunchy maple' - Ingredients: Whole grain corn meal, cane sugar, brown rice flour, corn meal, yellow corn flour, inulin, quinoa, maple syrup, flax seeds, natural maple flavor, buckwheat flour, sea salt, amaranth, molasses, tocopherols (vitamin E).
#3) Organic 'naked' - Ingredients: Whole burgundy sorghum, rice, whole wheat, toasted coconut almond granola clusters (whole oats, cane sugar, brown rice syrup, toasted coconut, whole oat flour. almonds, quinoa, expeller pressed sunflower oil, brown rice flour, molasses, salt, rosemary extract for freshness) toasted coconut, cane sugar, whole oats, sea salt, rosemary extract for freshness.
#4) Organic 'hemp granola' - Ingredients: Rolled oats, cane sugar, soy oil, brown rice flour, flax seeds, hemp seeds, oat syrup solids )oat syrup solids, tocopherols) sea salt, molasses.
#5) Organic 'pumpkin granola' - Ingredients: Rolled oats, cane sugar, soy oil, brown rice flour, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, oat srup solids (oat syrup solids, tocopherols) sea salt, molasses.
Most of the ingredients are similar but some random various additional ingredients are: wheat bran, honey, vanilla flavor, gelatin, yellow corn grits, invert cane syrup, soy lecithin, canola oil, chocolate chips, cocoa, yogurt chunks, rice starch, freeze dried blueberries/berry blend/strawberries/raspberies, chia seeds, degerminated yellow corn meal, oat fiber, expeller pressed canola oil, concord grape juice concentrate, apple powder, vegetable glycerin, and raspberry/strawberry puree concentrate.
Lastly, regular Cheerios; and a pasta noodle with Ingredients: All-organic spouted wheat, sprouted barley, spouted millet, sprouted lentils, sprouted soybeans, and sprouted spelt.
I know this is a long post. Cost would normally be prohibitive except all this stuff was past 'expiration' or 'best if used by' dates. Thanks in advance for any comments!
