The Weird and Wonderful

169. Spirits and Liquor: You can tweak a beer with the addition of various distilled spirits. They can strengthen a weak beer or cut a beer that is too sweet. Or sweet liquor can mask a harsh flavor.

It’s perfectly legal to add booze to your beer, as long as you don’t distill it yourself.

Only use unopened bottles and sanitize the outside before you add it to the fermenter or bottling bucket. You can add run, tequila, whiskey or bourbon to your beer. You can also use fruit liqueurs, crème liqueurs, like cacao and menthe, and coffee liqueur.

170. You can also make homemade liqueurs to add to your beer. Start with a neutral bottle of vodka, add flavor extracts from your homebrew shop, or spices or fruit, and let it steep for a few weeks.

171. Vegetables: You can use many kinds of vegetables as beer ingredients. Pumpkin is often used, though pumpkin ales are usually considered to be spice beers. You can also experiment with brewing with corn, potatoes, chili peppers, and cucumbers.
