Odd beer ideas

I always wanted to try something up the maple flavor alley. Not sure what to use for a base. Sweet/milk stout might be too much of a good thing. Not maple syrup maple. Subtle maple.

...ah, it's not the maple syrup you use, it's the sap..... *caveat* you have to keep the sap refridgerated, it will turn bad if left at room temp.

BS. You just wanted an excuse to say "sasafrass." And to spell it wrong.

Keep your sodapopology out of my zymurgy.

Use it when brewing a light lager and ride the whole "Lime flavored shit bear" wave.

Cos it's like citrus-y but more pretentious.


And speaking of pretentious, Mr. sASSafras, my error was more akin to a typo.

I brew a lot of beer and have added some strange things here and there. For the mint addition I would take a 1/2 cup of vodka and soak the mint leaves in there overnight (in the fridge). Remove the mint leaves and add the "tea" to your brew. This way garuntees against introducing infection (although BW strength helps there) and more importantly you don't have those leaves rotting in your brew. I use this technique successfully with hot peppers, vanilla extract and shrooms (yes schrooms: chanterelle mushroom extract in a belgian style ale. That was some killer stuff!)

Good luck and post in a year in how it turned out!

Bring some of that to Blue!! :beer:

I got a belgian tripple fermenting right now that should tip the scales at 9% ABV. Simple recipe with corriander and Grains of Paridise (a "soft" funky pepper spice) added too.
That stuff should be rightously tastey come December.
