I'm new to this whole homebrewing malarkey and am working from kits at the moment (although I've only actually followed the instructions to one - we'll see how the others go).
Next up I was going to use the Coopers Stout kit as a base to make a coffee, chocolate and naga chilli stout - and imperial if possible - inspired by some Mikkellers I've tried.
Does anyone have experience in adapting kits or how I should approach doing it? I was simply going to toss in some coffee beans and cocoa and a couple chillies when I boil the kit, ferment for a week or two, add more coffee, chocolate and chilli to the bucket, leave another couple weeks and bottle condition.
What do you reckon?
