After trying some of this delicious herb recently, I knew I needed to make a beer with it. So, thats what I did. I want to make sure the flavor comes through, but am worried about getting a grassy, vegetable, leafy taste from leaving the leaves in there too long. How long would you dry "hop" with a fresh, leafy herb like this. 5-7 Days? 10?

How did this turn out? Was 1 oz enough the bring the shiso flavor out? I have a bunch of fresh shiso that I was planning on adding to a blonde ale this weekend. Thanks
