OK I am trying to make a brew that my wife will like, this is the deal:
I made an Australian ale from Coppers extract and added a light DME to it and for me is wonderful. For my wife she loves the taste but not the bitterness. This is my question.....Because I am using the extract and have no control over the amount of hops could I add something to the wort like honey? If I add honey to the boil would it have a significant effect on the bitterness of the finished brew? If so how much honey do you all think would be the right amount to balance out the bitterness but not make the brew to sweet?
Thanks
Curtis
