So I want to do an experiment with sugar, when I made prohibition kits, the method was loads of sugar, let it ferment, add charcoal to remove off taste, then add flavour, so what will happen if with a kit beer, the sugar is brewed independent of the wort and given charcoal treatment and then added to wort at the end? I was all set to give it a go, went to local brew shop to get bits, and it has closed.
I have noted adding extra sugar does not only increase alcohol level it also makes the beer taste more bitter, however selecting the kit can help, Scottish heavy will stand extra sugar, Yorkshire will not.
Sugar can be brewed to around 20% ABV so one fermenter full would give enough to add to around 10 kits brewed without sugar, but question is how much water to put into the kit? and when to add the brewed sugar or alcohol at end of wort brew or start of wort brew?
