Passion Flowers And Dry Hops

[Andrew Coleman]

I'm going to add dried passion flowers with my dry hops to secondary fermentation.

Still thinking about a decent amount so its noticable but not over powering, will be using with nelson sauvin to enhance the grapefruit aromas.

Will make a hoptea with the two beforehand to sterilise them for a while before adding to secondary.

Has anyone done this before or are there any reasons that i shouldnt give this a try?

I was thinking about doing this just yesterday. Do you know where to get the passion flowers from? They are supposed have a relaxing effect. You might make sleepy beer.

Don't know what passion flowers are exactly, for all I know it could be slang for a party drug :blink:

Anyway sounds good to me.
