Everyone always wants to know ways to kick the ABV in their automatic beer brewing system and create something that will leave you stumbling or at least moving slow. There are several ways that you can do this, and we will review what they are.
It is also important to note that you should always chase flavor not ABV. Adding different adjuncts and fermentable’s will change the flavor of the beer you are brewing. So, if you decide to dump a bag of sugar into your beer, most likely it won’t turn out that well.
The first one Malt Extract.
Adding more malt extract either hopped, liquid or dry will increase the ABV of your beer and improve the flavor as well. This is the best option to add more ABV to your beer. It will add about 1%-1.5% ABV per cup to the final ABV.
First, we will start will Sugar.
You can add table sugar, corn sugar, or brown sugar. You want to be careful with the amount of sugar you're adding as we mentioned earlier that can create some odd flavors.
When adding these you would add them to your 4 cups of water that you are bringing to a boil and mix it up until the sugar is dissolved.
Also, it is a good idea to pair the type of sugar you are using to the type of beer your brewing. Brown sugar would go great with a stout or an amber beer, where corn sugar would be good for a light ale or lager.
One thing to note about sugar you cannot use sugar substitutes, they will not ferment.
Okay now let’s get into syrups and other liquids.
You can add things like Honey, Maple Syrup, Agave Nectar, and Corn Syrup. Again, these will add about 1%-1.5% ABV per cup to your beer.
When adding these you would add them to your 4 cups of water that you are bringing to a boil and mix it up until the sugar is dissolved. Also, it is a good idea to pair the type of sugar you are using to the type of beer your brewing.
