...from reading all of the posts related to upping the ABV of an extract beer. I've read to add corn sugar, table sugar, malt extract, etc. but that i should also modify the bittering hops as well to keep everything in balance IF I add "too much."
I'm looking to add 1# of corn sugar (or light DME, not sure yet) to a Dead Ringer kit. What would be better to use - sugar or DME? Some of each? I know that "too much" sugar dries out your beer, but how much is "too much?" Also, I've read where DME can add maltiness, so should I then add hops? If so, how much???
I appreciate everyone's help on this, this forum is a WEALTH of knowledge!
Thanks!
