Hi Guys
Im on my third batch now and im looking to get a little bit inventive with the flavoring of my brews without trying some of the more complex recipes. Other than different hops, yeasts and malts can you add flavor in other ways? I found a thread about adding cherry syrup which i cant link to because apparently its "to spamy" for a noob like me to post links :-). Have any of you tried adding other sugary treats such as maple syrup, treacle, golden syrup or honey to a brew? If so can you point out a few good "simple" recipes?
On a slightly more crazy note would it be possible to use any of the above as primer? i was thinking as a substitute to bit of sugar in the bottom of the bottles? would this just cock it up and not have any impact on the taste or add a subtle hint of what ever i choose to put in?
There is some great advice on here for beginners, its helped me a lot. So thanks to all that post here.
Regards
