I have a chocolate robust porter that tastes a little too much like bitter chocolate. Seems the little yeasties consumed the sugars and left the bitter stuff. It's subtle but not too favorable by me. My question is this-- How can I sweeten it up more without drying it out more. Is there a way of adding sugar without further fermentation. How about Splenda or Nutra-sweet type of sweetener. Granted, it's not exactly what I want to be adding to my brew but I'm not happy with the chocolate bitterness. The chocolate bitterness is definately differant than a hop bitterness. Anyone had this issue also? I used 10 oz. of liquid Hersey's chocolate syrup in 5 gal batch.
