You don't want to know what my first thought was.... although in my defense, I'd just finished listening to a couple episodes of that other show.

If Justin is one of the judges, I'd go with some dregs from several sour beers.

If Justin is a judge, how about carpet or starsan?

If Justin is a judge, I would think a$$ and dirty socks would score very high

Just make sure the finished product doesn't taste weinery. Justin hates that.

Cigar Boxes!
You can use them to smoke a small amount of the steeping grains, and some to wood age the resulting beer, two uses for the same product. I have used it for Northern British Brown Ale and it adds quite a nice, unusual flavor...and have been using Cigar Boxes for smoking brisket, prime rib and kabanosy sausages for years with many positive feedback.

Justin hates weinery, when did that change?

I wanna thank everybody who responded with suggestions. We ended up not using any of them and maybe that was for the best. That's all I can say on that subject.
