I am on my second attempt at a 1% version of Nanny State from BrewDog. The first one was WAY harshly bitter, but also very thin. This time around I redid the hops a lot going from 112 down to 89 IBU, but the final wort still seems very thin.
Since I am changing up the hops this time, I kept my standby Nottingham as the yeast...so in the future I might use a different yeast for more 'character'.
But, for my next version, should I add some wheat or some rye? Or go all the way to oats? I am also wondering if some lactose would help me get more of my bigger beer feel/taste and balance the large amount of hops.
