Can you add sugar after boil to raise acohol percentage, or during fermentation?
Any idea of how I would figure amount to add?
I do not have brewing software just got my kit on christmas and bottled my first batch yesterday. I was just curious cause I was hoping to get a abv of about 6% my next batch.
I was told to use corn sugar, but I may need to pitch more yeast also. Is this true?

You do not need to boil the sugar.
Made a batch of red forgot to add the brown sugar been in fermentor 4 days now ! Way too late to add it now ?
So it seems the overall consensus is that adding sugar isn't the best route to raise abv.
I was just curious cause im from utah and our beer here is only 3.2% and does not taste as good as other out of state beer. which is what got me into wanting to brew my own, I wanted to be able to make it at the same percentage that the others are which I thought was about 6%.
