hey hey
Putting down another exract brew in the next few days and had a question about dextrose.
Recipe is as follows:
Porter 25 Litre Batch
3kg Light Dried malt Extract
250g Crystal Malt 60ebc
250g Chocolate Malt
50g Goldings (all in boil)
S-04 Yeast
250grams dextrose????
Now being my 4th extract brew I havnt used dextrose with the previous three and I've been losing alcohol content because I top it up to 25 litres. I was wondering if I add a small amount of dextrose say 250g that would take my alcohol content up a bit but would it change the flavour of the beer in such a small amount or should I use 250g more of malt extract. With a 25 litre batch I was thinking I could keep the same alcohol content if I added 250 grams of dextrose. Wanted to know other brewers thoughts.
