Hello Brewers!

I am still a noob to this, but I want to brew my wife something that she’d like.

I don’t yet have the equipment to do an all grain, and I am reliant on extracts.

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with adding flavour ingredients, like cherry for example, to an extract? If so, when and what have you added? And is this going to be an expensive process of trial and error?

      Yeah that sounds about right lol. Any time I hear someone say “you can’t ferment x and have it be drinkable” I go out of my way to try and ferment it. I heard that about watermelon and the watermelon wine I made turned out great, and distilling it to moonshine made the best watermelon brandy I’ve ever had (every commercial one I tried has the artificial watermelon taste). I’ve also made milk wine. Maybe I am a mad scientist…
