Morning brew gurus
Looking through these forums there seems to be a massive wealth of knowledge, sometime for me to tap into that methinks
I'm relatively new to the brew game - last 6 months - mostly extract kits, although I've had a go at a couple of the Brooklyn brew shop grain kits for a giggle, with mixed results.
I've just started a 23l stout kit off, with a view to experimenting with different flavours, the idea being that I'll rack off up to 3 one gallon carboys for different flavours. I'm thinking chocolate, cherry, possibly a bitter orange options, but am open to other suggestions.
First question is...best way to get those flavours in secondary? I've seen somewhere soaking cocao nibs in vodka? 100g in 100ml? Frozen cherries in the bottom? Amount? Could I also add lactose to get a "creamier" flavour?
The possibilities are almost endless, but what would brew world recommend? Let me hear your experiences folks [emoji482]
