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?

    It’s what I brew.

    Very easy to add botanicals, fruit or even spices to get something very easy to brew and drink.

    I currently have a hopped mead and a ginger mead brewing, the ginger one is my current goto

    • about 1.8kg of light colour/flavoured honey (currently using a lotus major)
    • somewhere between 100g and 200g of grated root ginger
    • make to 5l
    • add champagne style yeast and nutrients
