Adding flavor to your beer brewing equipment containers is a great way to change the taste of your craft beer brewery company and make it something completely different. While the brewing process may seem intimidating, it is actually very simple!
When adding flavor to your containers, there are a few things you should know. Let’s go over what those are and the best way to add flavor.
When it comes to flavoring, you can practically add anything you want. We find that the best things to add to your containers are honey or syrup, vanilla extract or coffee shots, bourbon, and syrup.
Now, a few things to remember:
If you are adding something like honey or anything that will not be heated, you want to make sure you are using a fresh container. Anything that has been sitting around for a while has the potential to contaminate your beer. A simple rule of thumb is to always use a fresh container.
When using ingredients like coffee, make sure to cool it to room temperature before adding it to your container.
When using different bourbons, you don’t want to add too much. We recommend nothing more than a shot per 740ml container.
If you are adding something that contains sugar, such as honey or syrup, do not add carbonation drops. Instead, use the equivalent amount of sugar. For example, if your container requires 2 teaspoons of sugar for carbonation, you would add 2 teaspoons of honey.
If you are using syrups, check if they are sugar-free or not. If they are sugar-free, you still need to add carbonation drops.
Syrups are probably the best way to try all kinds of different flavors in your beer. We highly recommend them.
Now, let’s talk about adding the flavor to your containers. It’s very simple, and the bottling process remains unchanged.
If you are adding something with sugar, such as honey, you will add your 2 teaspoons of honey to your containers, then fill them with beer and cap them. That’s it, it’s easy.
If you are adding something without sugar, like coffee, you will want to add your carbonation drops or sugar first, then add your coffee, fill with beer, and cap. Simple!
I think people often feel intimidated when trying to experiment with their microbreweries, but this is a safe, delicious, and easy way to try new flavors in your craft brewing equipment.
