Adding sugar

[jakedasnake]

Made a simple cider with apple juice and brown sugar along with some US-05, i finally kegged it after about 3 months of aging! It came out on the dry side, I would like to make it sweeter, can i just boil up some sugar and add it to the keg or will it start to ferment in the keg? By the way it is already carbonated in the keg.

It's not likely to ferment in the keg, but I'd still drink it sooner rather than later. You can backsweeten with juice or concentrate to get more apple flavor with the sweetness.

I've found that 2-3 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate takes a dry cider to a sweet tasty cider.

You should be ok if it is kept cold. Be cautious about bottling for friends though.
