can't you first try it on say a pint first. Just add a bit to a glass and pour beer. Just to get an idea of what it might do to it.

not to mention if you do add at bottling, Count the sugar into your priming sugar or you'll have overly carbonated beer. I'd just bottle normal, and make a batch of lemonade to pour into your glass before pouring the beer. You'll get an idea how much that way and next time you brew you have an idea how much to add to secondary.

Good idea.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've done some weird things
since I started brewing.

The first beer I ever made (extract) was a Irish Red Ale
and I didn't know I was suppose to steep the grains in the
bag that came with the kit. Instead, I dumped them in
for the entire 60 minute boil. Everyone I talked to said the
beer would turn out with a horrible after taste due to
boiling the grains. I got lucky and of all the beers I've
made, it's the one my friends like the most. Either that
means my beers are just horrible and an astringent Red
was the best, or I got lucky and learned my lesson without
it costing me an entire batch.
Now I know better.
