Home Brew Kit!!!
So, im super excited. I just ordered my first home brew kit today!! My boyfriend and I have been talking about brewing our own beer for a few months now and we decided to go ahead and make our first attempt.
We've come up with a few ideas, including (but not limited to) Ginger, sriracha, bacon and maple...and we wanna incorporate alot of different herbs and fruits as well. But after our initial mind explosion of ideas we've hit a bit of a wall.
I dont know if anyone on this site is a beer enthusiast, but if you were going to try an interesting and unusual beer what flavor would you be interested in trying? Any different ideas?

We haven't done beer but hubby brews mead and tequilla. He didnt order on line but from two different brewing supply shops we knew of. One of them has an online store and you can ask them what flavorings they recommend for using in beer.

Hubby says, less hops makes a big difference. Adding saffron is great. But too much can make it taste weird. Use honey instead of other sugars...like they did thousands of years ago.
Hope this helps you.

Any fruit will work well, although it's not terribly unusual. Berries will be good.
The you have chocolate, and possible chocolate combo's, e.g. pepper and chocolate, chocolate and mint, chocolate and ginger, etc etc.
One of my favourite beers is flavoured with coriander - the seeds are added during brewing. But I feel the flavour is never strong enough. A real coriander kick would be good!
Saying all of this, I'm not much of a beer drinker. But just think of tasty food combo's - something really simple that you eat everyday may be the key, because as a beer, it would be different.
Good luck!
