bert Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 when making a brew I notice a lot of people put a certain amount of sugar in there brew, even coopers state with there Irish stout kit to put 300g in , yet when brewing the English bitter kit coopers don't ask for any sugar. I realise that the sugar adds alcohol without body but does adding a small amount of sugar do anything else for the brew, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It's said to also produce a drier taste on the palate when used in certain scenarios & percentages, as opposed to something like lactose that adds sweetness along with body.

bert Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks for the reply beerlust, I have a bit of difficulty trying to visualize a drier taste, Maybe because I have just had a couple of stouts, I will have a think about this over night. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
