Greetings!
I tried to recreate a favorite soup here at our house in beer form: Buckwheat Soba with cilantro and chili.
I used buckwheat (super gummy in the sparge-very frustrating), ground coriander seed, and sambal chili paste. It fermented with Mangrove Jack 47 Saison. After a month of aging, it has a lemony tart, light pepper flavor, with a nice burn from the chili paste. There is no chili flavor at all, however.
This is the recipe, if the beerhtml thingie works:

<NOTES>11/29/19-Experimental Beer:
Buckwheat Flour will be cereal mashed prior to the regular mash. Mashed in at 149F, wrapped in a towel to hold a decent temp, will mash for 1hour. 1/2G yeast starter using the leftover wort from the Winter Warmer (approx. 1.068, so 1# dark dme in 1/2G H2O equivalent). There is hibiscus and orange in the honey, so I am eliminating the 2t. of lemon zest from the recipe (whirlpool), the tart flavor should already be there. Someone used all my soy sauce for Thanksgiving, so if I want it (2tsp) I will add it at bottling/kegging.
Soy Sauce and lemon zest 2tsp. each, may be added at bottling. Coriander Seed, Red Chili Paste (dry flakes) in Whirlpool.
