Did you use fennel seeds? I'm using them loads in various chocolate recipes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387325466589229898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108264242738379237.post-27403626605677031492011-01-07T15:55:14.861+00:002011-01-07T15:55:14.861+00:00I did an experimental brew with sage, yarrow, fenn...I did an experimental brew with sage, yarrow, fennel, heather, coriander and no hops last year. Everyone who tried it liked it, though the less-charitable described it as "pizza beer".<br /><br />I'll be scaling the recipe up when my garden comes back to life. I've just a couple of bottles left and I'm testing if the antiseptic properties of sage really are as good as those of hops.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108264242738379237.post-30142507254207487292011-01-05T22:51:19.664+00:002011-01-05T22:51:19.664+00:00I made a lemon balm ale last year, which my non-be...I made a lemon balm ale last year, which my non-beer drinking brother likes but I'm not that keen on it myself.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.com
