Adding to ingredient kits
Congrats on your first brew!
The color won't CHANGE, but it might lighten up simply because sediment has settled to the bottom.
Welcome to the world of the best beer you have ever tasted!
thanks.. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Makes me want to get a couple more fermenting buckets and run a few at once 
I feel your pain brother, I intend to do a brew every weekend, that way I'll have every thing spread one week apart.
I'll need one more primary and secondary. That's three weeks worth, I keep my batches in their fermenters for two weeks, unless a recipe calls for it to be moved sooner. So when the next batch is being brewed, a new batch can go into that fermenter, and depending on what it is, I can add it straight onto that yeast cake.
So each week end, one day will be, bottling, racking to secondary, brewing new batch.
I like my brews, I want to get away from commercial brews almost completely.
I need up to 7 recipes, that are my favorites, the BKB stout is one of them.
A pale ale clone is another, if it turns out.
An IPA, I have a DIPA in the primary now, man I hope it turns out.
I think I could do it with what I have but want the other primary and secondary for seasonal and special brews.
Brewing two batches at a time and taking care of them maybe a little to much.
I don't want it to turn into a weekend job, and doing this with two batches each weekend, might not be to much fun.
If you want to experiment with your brew, do it by the bottle, not the batch, get a marker
and add a code to the caps(keep notes) Myabe add a little clove to one bottle, mark it C1, add a little more to the next one, mark it C2, then maybe some nutmeg in the next one,nm1, a little more to nm2, maybe set aside 6 bottles to experiment on, it doesn't have to be the whole batch.
Make sure your notes say how much you added to 1 and 2.
I took a couple bottles of the BKBmilk stout over to my almost father inlaws house, he is a ribbon winning brewer, he had a barrlywine that he had added nutmeg to, it was around 7yrs old and was fantastic, guess what, no notes. He can't remember what he did.
