Clarify how to add a custom `value_serializerer` #176

Tell us about the issue

The current documentation is very vague about the value_serializerer field.

While it says that the default is org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer it does not explain in any way how to customize this value beyond the default Kafka types (ie: com.mycustom.serialization.Serializer)
