Does the count go down again if you finish drinking your batch? If so... sorry...

Well I'm coming up on 2 months in primary, thinking I will bottle it up this weekend.

My wife isn't so much a fan of it right now, and am wondering if carbing it up a bit will help remove some of the super dry finish? Any input?

Edit: Thinking I might try carbing with apple concentrate instead of corn sugar - thoughts?

New homebrewer here. I just mixed up a batch using the original recipe to the T. I think my hydrometer might be off. Can anyone tell me what your starting gravity was for the original unmodified recipe?

I measured at 54 and that seems a bit low to me...

Thanks!

Can you substitute cane sugar in place of corn sugar? I am all out of corn. Will it affect taste? I tried reading through threads but couldn't find a similar question post. Thanks

I just did a one gallon test batch with raw cane sugar.. it came out a bit more winey then my first batch sweetened with concentrate.. I think it might need some more tome to mellow out then the concentrate but it should be fine.

That's what I've always used. I fermented at room temp. (anywhere from 68 to 75) and it always worked out well.
