I have this love for hot peppers and figured I ought to try an Asian type beer using Thai chilis. Lemongrass certainly comes to mind as did rice DME.
I'm not looking for hops that are citrusy or dank, but am wondering about spices that may do well in a brew.
So far what I've come up with is quite simple (all grain), and simple may be a good thing but I'd like to explore options as I typically prefer some complexity all depending (my jalapeño blonde, cream ale, and honey wheat are simple wanting a star for the show).
I don't seem to get much as far as flavor from Thai chilis so am looking mostly for a nice spicy note to compliment Asian flavors.
Ideas or experience sought...
