so i'm working on a crazy brewing project to supply me and a bunch of my buddies up at pitt with homebrew for the summer, and along with some basic stuff (some wheat beers amber/pale ales maybe a saison) I want to make up some creative stuff.
After reading revvy's post about using corn chips on the strange ingredients thread, I was inspired to make a "chips and salsa" beer. I'm still pretty much doing extract brews, but want to do a partial mash on this one so that i can have enough grain to absorb any residual oils in the corn chips ( revvy said it would work and he's never lead me astray) and I want to use tomatoes and maybe even a very small amount of garlic and cilantro in the boil. I cant lager to do a dos equis clone, but i was thinking maybe something along the lines of
4lbs pale ale malt
1 lb corn chips
3 lbs light dry malt extract
saaz hops?
aside from that i'm lost as to how to go about adding the other stuff, and worried about how tomotoes will affect the ph. any advice?
