Hey all,
I'm fairly new to home brewing, so excuse my lack of..... well, "lingo?"
I brewed my first solo batch last night, and had a few questions.
I have heard that adding honey during the boil will increase the alcohol content, but will not affect taste.
I am looking for a little of both, so I added 1 lb. of honey, and plan on adding another 1/2 lb. or 1 lb. during the secondary fermentation to hopefully give it a nice hint of that flavor.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Also, I bought a couple vanilla beans to use.
How / when would I go about using those?
Thanks in advance!
