Nope but they make me want to start making kimchi soon. :rockin:
Not as such but made a mess of a malty hoppy mashup for my first recipe.
It's awesome you can grow your own hops btw! With a little apartment balcony usually covered in snow and two very destructively curious felines sadly won't accommodate my mini-grow-op desires.
Don't know the ABV but my first experimental recipe ever was going for something similar and it was a malty hoppy explosion of oddness. :/ I liked it but it wasn't for everyone and there's lots I would change now I know more:

This was totally over the top and I had no idea what I was doing. Just threw in everything that sounded yummy. Which was everything.
Maybe yank the Rye and add in some Carafoam, swap Columbus for Willamette and the Zythos/Amarillo for Cascade and Centennial.
Drop in some US-05 in place of Notty and see what happens?
Looks interesting definitely let us know the results! Looks like it will be nice and malty! The 2 row will let the hops really pop and the Munich (dark or light?) with the carafoam should add some nice body.
Never used Melanoiden before. Guessing that is to add some body as well?
Never used Nelson, any beers I've had with it here in Ontario I wasn't too keen on, but they were also from breweries I wasn't too keen on either
My partner is going to be down in South America for over a month, and in areas where the only beers you can find are basically pilsners (and pretty crappy ones to boot), so getting a big palate cleansing. I just brewed this up last night to have ready for her return, she asked for something "hoppy"
(don't have my recipe book for exact amounts in front of me atm)

Using BRY-97 for the first time. This morning there was little to no activity, but have been reading that BRY can be a bit slow to start sometimes.
