Some years ago I had a beer from New Belgium brewing called coconut curry hefeweizen in a bomber bottle. Absolutely loved it. Discovered one of my local bars had it on tap for a tap take over night, but never finished it. I asked them to re-tap it, and I sat there belly up at the bar and drank it till I couldnt walk straight. Back then, my beer was amateur, but i've gotten better over the years. I had made several attempts over the years to create a hefeweizen I was satisfied with, and failed 10 times in a row, until I found the yeast that made my life feel complete. Now that i've found the yeast that gives the flavor to a hefe that I crave, i'm willing to take on a recipe clone of a coconut curry hefeweizen that'll hopefully turn out something like the one I had years ago.
I'm looking at this recipe, going through searching where i'm going to source some of these weird ingredients i'd never think to put in a beer.
recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=89518
So, my question is, are all these weird ingredients needed? the cost is adding up fast, and i'm just wondering if the cost of these little additions are going to be worth the added cost? grated ginger, fenugreek, curry leaves? is all that necessary?
anyone actually tried to make this recipe?
