The possibilities for tampering are endless! - Here are some suggestions:

Hops: Add optional hops for extra aroma
Sourcing: Use Philly Sour yeast
Low carb: Add Amigase for full fermentation
Gluten-Reduced: Add Brewer's Clarex
Increased strength: Omit the water, or add extra fermentable sugar (malt extract etc.)
Lactose: Gives the beer an extra smooth body and sweetness
Other additions: Oak, coffee, spices, orange peel, fruit/puree, cocoa nibs…

Suggestions for hops and yeast:

As mentioned, we want to encourage experimentation. Nevertheless, it can be good and reassuring to have some concrete suggestions, which can also inspire you to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions:

Skip the water addition and get an extra juicy and powerful NEIPA.
Dry hops generously with e.g. El Dorado, Zappa, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, BRU-1, Belma, Galaxy, Sabro, Strata and Idaho 7.

Safe combinations like Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy, or Citra, BRU-1 and Idaho 7 work very well.
Experiment until you find the sweet spot in terms of the number of grams per liter of dry hops.
FWK Creative also works great for using up leftover hops!

Feel free to read about what aroma each hop contributes, and choose what sounds good together - This is fun, and you are often impressed by new hop combinations!

General recommendation for carbonation:
Add 6g of sugar per liter of beer when bottling, and let it carbonate at 20-28°C for about 14 days before storing in a cool place.
CO2 volume in barrel: approx. 2.4 - See carbonation table here
