My last brew, which I just moved to secondary yesterday, tasted a bit boring during the transfer. When I came up with the recipe, I was expecting an OG of 1.055, but ended up with 1.051 because the extraction efficiency on my specialty grains (and the 2-row I used for enzymes) was 50%, versus the 75% I had expected.
What can I do to empart flavor into the secondary? Could I boil some hop pellets to add some bitterness to it? (I only used 1/2 oz bittering hops @ 1hr.) Or maybe steep some specialty grains and add them in? What's a typical way to fix up a boring beer?
Thanks everyone!!
