A friend of mine, who has been wanting to brew beer with me, asked if we could create a "Kimchee" beer. At first I think he was messing with me, but I'm actually really interested in trying it. I told him the only thing I wouldn't add was Cabbage.
I've never worked with additions outside of your standard dry hops, chocolate or espresso..
I wasn't really sure which direction to go, but I kind of felt the pepper corn and ginger would best lend itself to a light saison. Thoughts?
