This brew is happily fermenting away right now..I figured I would add something to primary after a few days to help boost the AC, add a little depth of flavor and to dry it out a little. I was thinking of a few different things.
1. 1.5 pounds dark brown sugar
2. 1 pound of dark mollasses
3. 1 pound of clover honey
4. just leave it alone
I have almost exactly 5 gallons of wort, so I know that a pound of fermentables that will pretty much ferment %100 should get me another 6-8 points on my OG. What do you all think...I only get one shot to make this beer as good as it can get.
