Hey guys,
I'm Currently brewing a rather strong IPA, and it has a great hop flavor, but it lacks a front/beginning malt flavor, or any beginning flavor at all. It has a middle and an end, but no start! I know its a bit late in the process (the fermentation ends tomorrow) but is there anything I can add to the secondary to help produce or possibly help pronounce the existing malt flavors? I want this to be a great beer (it already tastes good, just needs a little more zazz), so any help you guys can give would be awesome.
also thinking of throwing some smoked woodchips into the secondary to give it that charred barrel flavor. Thoughts?
Thanks.
