Firstly, i am an extremely new brewer, fresh off the press, wet behind the ears, and anxious to learn the tricks of the trade, and to learn what i can about good brew in order to edify my soul and make the world a better place one beer at a time. I have my first beer bottled, a dark ale, and though i made a few mistakes (a bit too much crystal malt and transferring the primary from my bedroom to the kitchen directly before bottling, causing a bit of the yeast materials at the bottom to make it into the bottles), the beer still seems to be turning out well after a taste test 1 week into bottle conditioning. Things are looking up.
And to the question:
A friend of mine who knows that i am getting into brewing sent me a query:
"I had to bring you my incredible beer-idea that came to me almost like a prophetic vision. You know I like flowery beers, but I also love herbal tea. What if... wait for it... you could make an herbal beer? Like jasmine beer or lavendar beer or or or chamolile beer!! Can it be done? Should it be done? Meditate on it and get back to me with your business proposal."
So to all you learned individuals of the community, how could this be done? Would a different base be used like just water and corn sugar, and dry hop with tea? That might be horrible, i have no idea, but i figured you wouldn't want tea that tasted like beer if you are a tea drinker. Any ideas?
