Black peppercorn??

[timschram]

I want to do a session ale but had an idea of using a small amount of black peppercorn for a subtle hint of black pepper. Has anyone ever had success with this? Any recommendations for how much to use? With what grains and hops would this work??

Never tried it. But if it's from BierMuncher, I'd wager it's pretty tasty.

I agree. Pepper in certain beers tastes good.

I brewed a Odell's Myrcenary-ish IIPA and used a bit of Chinook among numerous other hops, at 20 mins... what I got before bottle carbing was this overwhelmingly peppery beer. I thought... Whoa. That tastes awesome in conjunction with all the citrusy/flowery hops I used. Unfortunately, the pepper subsided quite a bit. It was still there after carbing but not as up front at all.

Here's my recipe. I loved it and have brewed it twice since my first brew.

Good luck.

Elysian makes a peppercorn saison that I really like. The peppercorns work really well with the saison which is normally a little peppery

Would 5-10 peppercorns with willamette and centennial hops work??
