Ok. Im about to brew my first beer, and simply slap it together and run it is not a concept I enjoy. I would thoroughly like to do something with it, if only even just small things. What I have is a can of Coopers Irish Stout Extract and what was labeled as a brewpack which consists of 1lbCorn Sugar, 1lb Light DME, and 1/4lb Malto Dextrin.
What I would like to know is: I bought 1oz Chinook hops and would like to add them in the mix; is this a good addition to an already hopped extract? (I dont mind if the hops are prominent.)
Another addition im curious about is steeping a pound or two of oatmeal. What would this do? Ive read that steeping oats gives a sort of velvety mouthfeel, as well as adding body.
I also have access to many crushed pecans. Add them to the secondary?
Comments? Im open to any and all constructive suggestions!
