Mash at a couple of degrees higher than the recommended or keg the beer before the fermentation has completely finished and all the sugars have not turned to alcohol.

As for sweetening a beer that is already in the keg - I don't know.

edit: Opps I see that you are a K&K so forget the first suggestion.


Cheers, Hoges.

"sweeten" as in its too bitter or just not sweet enough for your tastes? what beer is it?

hi,
my 5 cents worth on this one, is to release the pressure and add some dissolved lactose, or an artificial (coffee )sweetener. if you are consuming in a short time then a brewmaster told me to add some honey.

hope it helps, alan

Take a 250ml sample and sweeten to taste with sugar (dissolved in water)
Scale up amounts for full keg
Add to keg and mix.

As long as the keg is kept below fermentation temps then it won't ferment out or build up pressure.
