The Wit Experiment (Part 1)

When my friend and I went into our local homebrew supply store this week we decided that we both wanted to try a Belgian wit type of beer. Now I'm the only one with all the equipment so he just buys the kit I make mine and his and when I bottle his up I give it back to him. simple arrangement and it seems to work out just fine. So after picking out our beer kits we started asking questions. I am interested in getting more involved in brewing and going all grain and he was just wanting to know to to kick his beer up a notch, Emeril style. So we decided to try an experiment. Its a small experiment but it amuses us. My friend and I decided that I would add just one extra pound of malt extract to his batch. Obviously it will have a higher OG and higher end alcohol content but how will it affect the overall taste of it? Is one pound enough to make the malt flavor too strong without balancing it with more specialty grains or bitter orange etc. Well either way it proves to be a fun time. I started the first batch without the extra malt on 04/16/09 and the og was 1.048. Its glugging and bubbling like a pro right now. very active. More details to follow soon, thanks for reading.
