Kind of an odd request ( please do take me seriously) .. i will try not to go into to much details other then my wife after having 2 amazing children has asked me to find her something to help her increase her desire to get in the mood....

she asked if there was a herbal tea she could drink or something.. (she hates pills and says she does not want it to be like taking a medication to fix the problem)

so i found some tea's that might work but then i thought about making a beer she could drink (obviously with her full knowledge of the ingredients and there purpose) she loves beer as much as i do.

So some items i found that are supposed to increase libido are..

Yin Yang Huo (horny goat weed)
pomegrant juice
ginseng
Maca
Rhodiala Rosea (rose root)
L-Arginine
Cacao (chocolate)
Saffron
Fennel
Nutmeg

so i am looking for suggestions on what ingredients i should try first and maybe an idea of how much to make say a 2 gal batch.
i would like to make it into a German pilsner type beer with these added ingredients.

i am probably out to lunch on thinking this might work or taste good but i though i might see what i can do. also i hope someone has more in depth knowledge of some of these ingredients as to if they will work in a beer or not.
all else fails i will get her the tea anyways.
 
Any of this will be easy enough to add to beer, but it's very unlikely that you'll find anyone here qualified to make recommendations about proper dosing for any of these chemicals. Be careful. The trouble with "natural" medicines is not that the don't work, but that they do. Your best bet would be to find yourself an experienced herbalist, ask for dosing suggestions, and then ask about possible interactions with alcohol.

I've never been to Prince George, but there were qualified herbalists all over Edmonton when I used to live there. Good luck! :mug:
 
yeah hard to find someone local that can answer my questions. (or i have not looked hard enough)
i can do trial and error but i would hope someone could give me a starting point.
Dosage is gonna be hard considering almost everything i read has different suggested dosages for pill form ie. orally administered but now i am going to have it diluted in 2-5 gallons of beer so i don't even know if it would work..

also good point on how it would interact with the alcohol ... i remember hearing about a beer made with viagra in it. was made in UK i think read about it in a Maxim mag like 10 years ago. so it might be possible .
 
Brew a beer she likes and tell her there's a little sum'thin in it for her:) it's all psychological, after a couple a few or more kids you just gotta deal.....otherwise just get her drunk, used to work back in the day:D
 
As Shakespeare said
"Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things...
Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes;
it provokes the desire, but it takes
away the performance: therefore, much drink
may be said to be an equivocator with lechery:"
 
I appreciate the responses but they do not help me in my quest for the holy grail.... of beer.
it is like the black knight will not let me pass.... unless i chop off his arms and legs........
 
I definitely don't recommend cutting off her arms and legs. On a serious note duboman is onto something. The placebo effect may be the inky ingredient you need. The mind is pretty powerful.
 
Make an oyster stout.

PS: Alcohol is a neurodepressive sedative, and might not make her any more horny.... but it will lower her inhibitions.

If you're into such things, try a joint. Works far better on the libido.
 
I can't just not put anything in it i am a horrible liar so i would rather be able to say hey they say this make you all Whooohooo and it is in this beer drink it up.

a joint will not help since it makes me unable to participate lol..
 
Put some pomegranate in the beer.
Send the kids to Grandma's house, or send wife out somewhere fun while you get the little angels to bed.
Then pour her a nice pomegranate beer, rub her feet, massage, whatever, while she reads 50 Shades or something.
See? The special ingredient works! ;)

Placebo Pilsner

This would probably be your best bet, honestly. Getting in the mood is more about letting yourself.


If all else fails cunnilingus...:rockin:
 
Any way to suppress the libido? Swmbo is always all up on me while I'm trying to brew. :ban:

Haha. If only.

Chocolate pomegranate and midnight wheat. That's all I've got.
 
Try working some panax red ginseng into the brew it'll benefit both of you by way of you. Taken every day over the course of a year,my old buddy increased his size. And no,we weren't like that...
 
I had a Flat Tail (Corvallis, OR) Licentious Goat IPA this past weekend that used Horny Goat Weed. It was very tasty. I'm not sure how much was used, or how it was used (dry hop/late addition).
 
Spanish Fly Stout... RIS with chocolate. my wife likes chocolate, the rest just helps lower her inhibitions.
 
Some thoughts after reading this.

1. Hops and Marajuana are fairly similar, infact if you have to many ipa's you'll fail (or pass?) a drug test for MJ.
2. most of those ingredients would go well as a tea, and used to make a mead.
3. well lost 3 so sorry.
 
I actually came up with this idea about 4 years ago and did a lot of research and tests. The last thing I came up with at the time was that you would need such small amounts of herbs and minerals in each beer, for health reasons, that it was pretty had to measure it out. I did have my friends try a bunch of aphrodisiacs for me to see if any worked. What we came up with is that they all tasted bad in beer and that our one friend was allergic to coconut lol.
 
This works very well to get my wife in the mood. A little light for my tastes; but, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

Are you sure? That sounds like an urban legend. While they are related plants, pot testing checks for THC, which hops don't have.
 
If you are looking to get HER in the mood, you need to find something that will trigger it in her brain. Research dopamine production in the human body. the herbs you listed really only do one thing in that they increase blood flow. Guys think with their member so having a hard on is akin to being in the mood. Women need more than this. The issue may lie in the monotony of every day life. If there is no romance, there is no mood.
 
There are a few things on your list that would be easy to incorporate into a beer - nutmeg, cacao, saffron and fennel in particular. The cacao can be used to flavor a porter or stout. Nutmeg could be used in a spiced copper/brown ale. And the saffron and fennel could probably be used in a saison or other farmhouse style beer. Getting the proportions correctly so that the beer tastes good will be the trick.

I would suggest you start with a beer style your wife enjoys and then try to figure out which spices/herbs would work well with it.
 
Ususally 2-3 of any beer does the trick in these parts....though there is a fine line between in the mood and sleepy lol.

I hear chocolate and chili peppers are both supposed to be aphrodisiacs
