increasing dryness

[HOMEBREWZ]

Hey i was just wondering how should i go about increasing the dryness of my beer , i made a belgian triple last month and its pretty damn good but id like to increase the dryness of it and im not sure exactly how i should go about doing so , im trying to clone chimay triple and im almost spot on except the dryness factor , i havent really looked into making beer dryer but i think i remember reading something about adding extra sugars to the fermenter during fermentation. thanks.

Mashing at lower temperatures will dry it out. As will adding sugar to the fermenter as primary fermentation wanes. I think I added sugar to my tripel when the beer was about 4 or 5 points from final gravity. Adding it too early risks the yeast switching from working on the maltose to the sucrose, IIRC.

Sugar, plain cane, or beet. Simple as that.

Mash low, use simple sugars, keep yeast happy with right amount pitched, in good health, oxygenate.
