well... after a couple of days on the gas, I tried it and man... a weird aftertaste... someone told me it was wet cardboard... but I cant really tell... I can definitely taste what the AE did... I get a little bit of cottonmouth... BUT.. about two weeks later on the gas, it is really good... still kinda of a aftertaste I am not happy with, but may just use half the AE next time...
That parched dryness will completely go away. It just needs to sit awhile. A few weeks to month in the secondary then two weeks on gas and its gone. I have done this a dozen times if not more. It just needs time. Regardless of the AE, any brewing defect, or lack of aging with a beer this lite any minute off taste has nowhere to hide.
If you know its very close to 1.000 then half the AE. I have always used the same amount each time without issue, but I patiently let it age.
