Im at the point of attempting to mod some kits. So I picked up an EPA kit and told the guy I would like to up the gravity a bit and get some more floral hop flavor. He suggests I add about two lbs of honey to the wort at flame out, so I did. He also sold me on some pellet hops (forget what kind exactly but 6 %AA). So The beer is about two and a half weeks old, and I kegged it today. So its still flat. I took a little taste when things cooled off, and the beer seems watery tasting, and the hops is sort of lame. Also a slight alcohol taste that seems just a little off. Im thinking that the beer may just be a little young, but IDK. Will it improve over a week or two? Or should I add more malt extract next time instead of honey?? I used bottled water as always, and it fermented in a basement around 65 degrees.
