I brewed a big RIS last week and used the third runnings for a small brown ale. The original gravity on the small beer was 1.037 and it's down to 1.010 today, however it tastes like water ran through used coffee grounds; if you've ever done that by accident you know what I mean. It's not a good flavor, thin and watery with some astringency. I was debating on adding a lb of honey to up the abv to about 4.5% and calling it a honey brown but at this point i'm not sure if it's worth it. Does anyone else have any experience in this situation? I'm thinking the honey will thin it out even further and not do much in the flavor department. What are your thoughts?
