Hi,
Iv done a few extract brews now with some success.
In a homebrew book I read that you should use some sugar with all-extract brewing unless its a Porter/Stout. The reason given is that the yeast can't always fully ferment out the malt. The book said to use about 200g to 500g (4oz to 7oz)sugar wheather it was corn/raw sugar etc. Would this effect the taste?
My last beer was a good example where the OG was 1062, FG only 1021.
The reason im asking is that with the below recipe, I think I need more fermentables. The batch is 6 gal, I was thinking of adding a little corn sugar for it.
