Hi. I am new here, please be gentle. I have been brewing for a while, but extract is new to me. With two kids, I don't have time to do full mashes anymore and I want stuff that kits don't offer... so. ... here I am.
I bought this kit (I did a bitly because I don't want to be advertising any one company) http://bit.ly/12tzJII . I am not worried about the company, friends order from them all the time. BUT!! Does the ingredient list seem a little bare to anybody else?? It looks like they are relying on the yeast to do a lot of the work with regards to the flavour profile. I was thinking about switching the corn sugar out for hard Belgian Candy and adding some orange extract to the secondary. Maybe I should steep some grains... I am at a loss... any ideas??? I really want to have a solid keg of this come the spring/summer.
Thanks.
