interesting things you have dry hopped with (besides hops)?

I have only done orange peel. What else has been done?

Chilis, bacon, vanilla beans.

Vanilla beans, orange peel, spices

Pretty sure thats all so far but plenty more to come.

Spices, orange peel, cacao nibs, and coffee beans.

jalapenos

Jalapenos, fruit, toasted coconut, tea. We were talking yesterday about adding a Hawaiian pizza to the secondary (shortly after it was delivered). I think you can use just about anything. People joke about adding a box of fruity pebbles to a wheat beer. It might just work.

One of my coworkers was telling me that such thing as a pizza beer already exists. I'm not sure I want to believe that.

I have done vanilla, and toasted coconut (different beers.)

I've done vanilla previously. I've got a cream ale going now that's going to get hatch chiles added in a week (it got some in the boil also, got a nice flavor out of them, going for heat from the secondary).

I just bottled the Jalapeno Cream Ale (1 gallon), and did a gallon with Serrano peppers and one with Habanero. Nice flavor in all three, although I won't get to taste the final product for three more weeks.

The only other item I frequently add to fermenters is extra carboy bungs...sometimes I have been known to drop 2 bungs into one batch.

Today added Cayenne pepper, cocoa, vanilla extract to a porter. In the past have used oranges, orange peel, lemons, lemon peel, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, mulling spice, cinnamon sticks. That's all I can remember.
