I have posted recently about my APA that tastes like someone has emptied an ash tray into it. It seems likely that scorching is the culprit as my heater elements are black with burnt wort.
The batch before this one was a stout and i got to thinking maybe the roasty flavours covered up some of the scorched flavour. So....
Could i try and save this brew by steeping a load of black, chocolate or brown malt. And add it to the secondary, maybe with some extra yeast. Also i could go further my making it a spiced stout and adding liquorice, clove, corriander ect.
Anyone tried something similar? Any potential drawbacks? I'm assuming i need to boil the steeped wort for a while, maybe 15mins?
