My first post was deleted by moderators because of the language and terminology used in describing my intent for an experimantal beer. I will avoid using the words I used previously, because I'm looking for insight for a particular method which I'm now dubbing minimalist. Please don't ask what words I used, and don't try to guess. I'm looking to brew a one gallon experimental batch of beer. I was playing with brew builder and found a recipe using minimal grain and no hops. I'm not going to post why, because it got my thread deleted last time. I'm trying to stick within a certain "specialty" style. The recipe is as follows, from brew builder for a 1 gallon batch.
1lb, 8oz of flaked oats(I'm only going to use oats
1lb 0oz of turbinado sugar(would like to use table sugar, any conversion?)
Nottingham dry yeast.
The OG is 1.075, FG is 1.019, abv 7.34.
I want this to be my foundation for the wort. What else can I add, without adding hops, or more grain, or extract to increase color and flavor? I'm thinking of an apple cinnamon, or citrus fruit profile. I do not want to use commercial additives, im looking for answers like slices of apple during the boil, or during fermentation. Things like that. Could I add teabags for flavor and color?
**note to moderators** please don't remove this thread. Its an experimental topic. I'm not looking for sloppy techniques here. I'm looking for a minimalist approach**
