AdamH1525226084 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey PP It depends to what level you're at with you're brewing. Easiest way to spice it up a bit is to add some grains and hops. I've gone all out with one at the moment. See this thread for some ideas. Although I say I am brewing a "Bavarian" dunkel, it would be closer to the real thing with proper malts (melanoidin type apparently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPablo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 This would only be my second one.But would something like a lager yeast some hop tea and a light dry malt extract make a difference..My room temp is between 10-14 Celcius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You're definitely better off going with malt extract. Maybe try a hop tea using 20g of hallertau hops - if you have coffee plunger you can use that to steep it for 10 mins and plonk it in. Either a light dry malt or liquid malt would be fine. Try getting IanH's spreadsheet (great for helping to design beers) - someone on here has posted a link for downloading so i will try to find an edit this post if i do. This will help with the quantities. [EDIT] success looks like you may just have to request it from mr. Clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
