This is my second batch of beer and made a simple brew. I have it in the primary for 10 days now. I haven't taken any OG readings yet (bubble activity is ~5-7 bpm). I was wondering if I can turn this into a more interesting beer by racking it into the secondary and adding some fruits, flavors? etc.(also how do I go about doing it without risking contamination)
Do you have any suggestions on this or should I not mess with it and leave it as is. Thank you guys!
Here is the recipe:
