So I'm planning on picking up more ingredients for my second brew sometime today. I'm curious about what other brewers tend to do. Do you:
A) brew a similar style to you first brew with some slight variations so you can see the taste differences based on ingredients
Or
B) brew a completely different beer of your choosing.
On a side note, I'm thinking about doing option A but I don't know how to make variations to my original recipe without changing the style. My first batch is an English Brown Ale. Here's the recipe. Thoughts on how to slightly modify?
5.5 gallon batch
3.3 lbs muntons dark LME
3.3 lbs muntums amber LME
1 oz challenger (8.9% alpha)
0.5 oz East Kent Golding
8 oz raw cane sugar
1 tsp Irish moss
1tsp yeast nutrient
1 pack Danstar Windsor yeast
Challenger starts 60 minute boil, Amber LME added after 45 minutes, and golding added at flame out.
Thanks for the input.
