I know I have a lot of questions. I will ask them in different threads. What I would like someone to help me with first is by explaining how I can customize my brews by adding such flavors as chocolate, cherry, blueberry, coffee, cinnoman, bourbon, etc. I understand there are both fruit purees and extracts, but I don't know how to add them. I have also read that I can brew some coffee or expresso and add the brew to my boil pot. What are the best ways to make a very chocolatey beer? I typically like higher gravity jet black in color beers.
If I buy an Imperial Stout kit and add additional chocolate malts to the boil pot will this increase the ABV of the final product and add chocolate flavor? If I add a chocolate bar and brewed coffee to the boil pot and add 4oz of cherry extract to the secondary or cherry fruit puree, will this make a cherry chocolate coffee stout? If I add milk to the boil, does this create a milk stout?
I know I am without much of a clue, but from one beer advocate to another, any help that this community may give will be appreciated.
