Had an experimental brew day today!
I wanted to do a saison for a friends birthday present and went for some liquorice flavours.
I tried using some unpopped, popcorn kernels as had some spare. Read somewhere they needed to be boiled so did this before the mash and then added them in along with the water they were soaked in.
I had meant to use pilsner malt but stupidly i grabbed the wrong bag and so its ended up with light munich malt.
Went with 3 star anise and half a stick of liquorice root
Og of 1.054, tasted good and pitched in the whole sachet of yeast just to be safe.
