I've had a scotch ale in the primary for 4 days. The attenautive phase is complete and the krausen has fallen. The beer smells terrific--malty and very clean (just how I like it). And while it may be too soon to tell, the ABV at this point appears a little lower than I had hoped.
I have some brewing sugar (dextrose & maltodextrin mixture) on hand, and I'm wondering if I could add some without ruining flavor or lightening to the brew too much. Again, I'm happy with the appearance and smell, and I would hate to ruin a potentially great beer. Still, a bit more alcohol would be nice. Am I able to add at this point, how much is ideal?
