Ok, I'll sock you! While I agree with the overall statement about using
the best, cost and quality are not necessarily related. Shipping
ingredients from England, Germany, etc is obviously going to raise the
cost. So because you are paying for the extra freight costs, the product
is better? Damn engineers! You don't work for the US government, do
you? ;^)

What's your favorite "trick"
ingredients?
ie...
Carapils malt... for Body
Wheat malt... for Head
- Al
Some might say cardamon in Saisons but I wouldn't have this
spice in the same room as the brewery let alone use it.
Cumin in wits and Saisons might be found in some homebrewed
examples.
I've heard vanilla in English pale ales.
I could be just making this up...

ps. There is no reason not to use the best base malts,
hops and yeasts in a homebrew. Spend the extra $$. The
cheap stuff is for the professional brewer (I'm going to
get socked for saying this ;-).
