I recently watched a Basic Brewing Video where they brewed up a basic beer as a base for "pie crust," and it got me thinking about combining with a sweet potato beer I had a while back, to make a sweet potato pie beer. I've roughed out a recipe based on the video, combined with a sweet potato beer recipe I got from a LHBS a while back, and looking for some thoughts on it. I did add some pecans, with the intention of the beer being a desert beer, with Sweet Potato Pecan Pie in mind.
