Not sure if this topic has been discussed or not but I have been thinking about recipe formulation with respect to flavor profiles. When formulating a recipe do you make space for flavors to fit in the overall profile or do you select complementary flavors to layer the profile? For instance, I've been thinking about brewing a fruit beer, maybe something with figs, should I complement the figs with grains that produce dark fruit type flavors or should I exclude those things from the recipe to leave a void for the figs to occupy? I want the figs to be noticeable and complimentary to the beer but I don't want the grain bill to muddy the flavor profile.
