First off I have an American Amber Brewers Best Kit that I'm brewing today and I was wonder if anyone's had any experience mixing hazelnut extract flavor to it. I bought a 2 oz hazelnut extract flavor and was gonna add it before bottling, but before I do that, I'm beginning to wonder if that will mess it up? Also I am worried that I'm brewing at too high of a temperature. I live in Phoenix and my house temperature ranges from 70-76 inside. Ive done the water bath with my first kit but didn't for the last two. So the question is, if I brewed on Monday would it be to late to put my fermenter (which has been fermenting for 4 days) to a water bath? I think it may be too hot because when I transferred a batch to the secondary today, it smelled like hard liquor. I'm stressed that I already screwed up one batch and I don't wanna screw up two! All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
