I've brewed around 8 batches of extract beer and I wanted to try tinkering around with a recipe, no other reason really, just want to see if I can add a little something, something, without screwing it up.
I'm starting with a normal Amber recipe that includes 6lbs of Gold liquid malt extract, 8oz of crystal 80L, with 1oz of Halleruau hops for bittering and 1oz of Fuggle for aroma. Pretty straight forward.
If I was to add some more malt extract and maybe some corn sugur to up the alcohol content, what quanities would I need to make this Amber a little more interesting? Plus what hop additions would I need to balance it out?
Sorry if this request sounds strange, just looking to try "tinkering" around a little.
Thanks
