I have made my first one gallon batch of beer as a test and it turned out excellent. I was more than happy with the end result. It was a very simple very quick beer and I was pleased. I used only some Briess DME and Cascade hops. This was my very first attempt at beer. I have been making mead and wine for a while but have now started beer. My question is:
Since my recipe was very simple, I want to know what else I can do to add some more things to my beer. My LHBS has a beer section with a lot of jars of different beer things but I have never really looked at them or to see what it is. I want some suggestions of some other things that I can add during fermentation or cooking process that will add another step / flavor to my beer so I can keep experimenting. I know it is an endless testing thing but I want to start small and work my way up.
Anyone have any suggestions on something simple that I can do to add more to my simple homebrew ? Also, and explanation of how to add it, or the flavor it gives off would be great.
I thought about adding a few good squirts of honey to the next batch, or a handful of pecans, or ??? I don't want to alter the flavor completely, but just start figuring out how to add hints of other flavors. And what beer ingredients do what.
Thank you everyone in advance!
