Crazy question for the collective:
So I recently made a porter based on a recipe I have used before. It ends up as a super dark, roasty good beer. This batch, however, may be struggling.
Fermentation is just about complete and the sample I pulled is much lighter than it should be (I know why, but didn't think it was important for the question).
Has anyone ever added a steeped tea post fermentation? The recipe has a good amount of chocolate and brown malt. I was thinking I could steep a half gallon of liquid with an half pound of each, boil for 15 minutes and then throw it into the carboy.
What do you think?
