Chamomile in beer?

[thenorthwesthammer]

Ive been thinking about adding Chamomile to a brew...sounds like Belgian Wit style is the way to go. It seems like alot of people are adding them late boil or flameout....has anyone done any dry hopping with them? ...or I guess dry-chamomiling ...if so ..how much and how long and how did it go etc.

I did a lager with chamomile and honey, very nice brew.

My first thought is to try chamomile in a Kolsch in a long secondary or in a long bottle conditioning. My thinking is the delicate flower aroma may work well with a relatively delicate beer. Just my two cents, never tried it.

Chamomile is great in wheat beers.....I have a peach wheat I do with honey. Full disclosure...one time I could find chamomile ....so I used half a box of the wifes Herbal Essence sleepy time tea which has chamomile in it.....had a really great flavor...but you definitely did want to drink it if you had any place to go afterward..it was the beer equivalent of warm milk and cookies

I do a honey chamomile wheat every year. Brewing the 2017 version next week.
