Hi
is it at all possible to add Dextrose after the fermentation has finished to try to increase the ABV. I have a beer that is sitting currently at 3.2% after the first gravity reading, I'm hoping that when i check tomorrow for the second reading that this will not be the final outcome. If this is the case would adding Dextrose do anything?
its a pale ale 21 ltrs with OG 1.040 yeast - US05
i have ruled out temperature as i have another beer fermenting next to it with the same yeast and its doing well at around 5%
ideally id like the pale ale to finish around the 4%
