Hey Guys,
I have 6 brews under my belt now, so I'm starting to really understand how this whole thing works, which is totally awesome. Please correct me if I'm misinformed, but the way I understand it when it comes to hop additions: ~60 minutes creates a bitter taste, ~25 minutes adds nice hop flavor, ~5 adds aroma, and Dry Hopping is pure aroma, no flavor.
Assuming this is correct, would the same logic work with different additions? For example, adding some spices in at the last minute or in the fermenter to add some aroma or adding fruit around 15-20 mins to impart the flavor?
I'm kind of trying to put together something experimental, my own personal home made recipe, and I've kind of hit a wall.
