Hi everyone,
Drinking my first beer, a belgian wit. Overall, it's a workable beer, and I'm happy to have it. I'd say three things are "wrong" with it, two of which--dark color from early LME addition and a lack of spice flavor from poorly-crushed and probably old spices--I already have an idea how to fix.
The third, however, I don't quite know: how do I make the beer a bit more sweet? Not a lot, just a bit more to round out the flavor and balance the beer. Can folks map out the options for increasing sweetness to one's beer? I get the sense it's not just "add a bunch of sugar," as I assume this just leads to more ABV due to fermentation?
Thanks.
