I brewed up 10 gallons of a rye saison (14.5 lb pilsen, 3.5 lb rye, 1 lb corn sugar). OG was supposed to be 1.052; however, I forgot to add the sugar at the end so my gravity was 1.048 (which upon realizing I forgot the sugar explained why my gravity was off, which was really perplexing me).
Anyway, so my question is this, should I boil up a pound of corn sugar and add it to the carboys to get my gravity and help dry it out or should I let things be at the bottom of the OG scale for the style? Yeast is Wyeast 3711. This is the first time I'm using this yeast, but from what I have read with or without the sugar this saison will be dry...will sugar make it too dry?
