My next brew is planned for Tuesday night. I am undecided about adding dextrose to give my ABV a boost and I will probably put off deciding until I see the gravity numbers I produce during the mash.
My question is this: Does it matter when I add the sugar? My original and uninformed impression was that this had to be done immediately prior to the boil, but I suspect this is wrong.
Is the best time to add sugar the same time I pitch the yeast? If so, do I stir or anything else, or just add the sugar and yeast?
