Hey Guys
I'm making a 5gallon (5.5 in fermenter) batch that I was hoping to get to 1.049 and instead was at 1.042 - I was trying a different sparging technique than I usually go with, so I'm blaming that for the miss.
My wort is in the fermenter now and I've pitched my yeast, but I want to up the gravity while I still have a chance to "fix" it. Would rather not add table sugar since it'll dry and lighten the beer out too much, but I don't have anything else in the house that's handy. No LME or DME available. However, I do have 1/2 pound of 2-row leftover from this recipe *and* a half pound of corn sugar - any idea how I can utilize it to make a new wort that I can add to the fermenter? I don't know how to calculate how much to add to add a specific amount of gravity points.
Any tips are *greatly* appreciated.
