Morning all,

I have a query regarding the application of taste to ales.

I am currently thinking about making a number of small batches of ales, looking to fine tune one ready for Christmas. It will be a fuller bodied, higher ABV ale, with unusual ingrediants.

My question is regarding the stages of fermentation. At which point in the life of a home brew, are most flavours imparted to the final product?

I had been looking at adding the extras to the initial fermentation cycle, but wondered, would more flavour be won from adding to a secondary fermentation/conditioning phase?

All help greatly appreciated as always.

It depends what the 'unusual ingredients' are as to where you would add them in the process.
 
Hi Mark,

Well, bit odd, but I had been looking at adding sherry or port to give a more complex flavour or experiemnt with other alcohols.

Anyone tried this?
