I'm not skilled enough to create my own recipes... yet.
In the mean time, would there be any major problems with just adding, say, a pound of honey or a cup of sugar at the beginning of the boil to every recipe I follow? I'd still follow the rest of the recipe to a T.
Obviously the gravity measurements wouldn't match, but I'm okay with that for now. I understand the resulting beer wouldn't be an exact clone of the recipe I followed, but I'm okay with that too.
Are high ABV beer recipes designed to mask the taste of the extra alcohol?
Would anything else need to be considered for a successful brew, like yeast pitching, etc?
Edit: I'm All Grain, if that matters...
