I've been planning on brewing a basil pale ale for a while, glad to see I'm not the only one. I think it would add a nice dimension to challenger as a post-boil addition.

I hope this works better for you than my braggot did for me... I'm not gonna be using the local "wildflower" honey any more for brewing. Tastes great for hot drinks/cooking, but it tastes like old lady perfume once it's fermented out.
