brewmaker IPA

[brewking]

Hi all im brewing a brewmaker IPA with 500g spray malt/500g brewing sugar, its in to the 2nd day of fermenting and i was thinking of adding more sugar, is this a good idea or not? if so how much? i dont want to turn it to liquor, as you probally guessed im fairly new to brewing this is only my 2nd brew and don't want to cock it up.

with no reply i take it this probally aint a good idea, was thinking it might give it a bit of a kick, this is the first time ive tried a brewmaker, seems to be decent quailty ingredients has anyone else brewed a brewmaker IPA?

What were you hoping to achieve by adding more sugar?

[brewking]

by adding more sugar will it not make it stronger? , i forgot to take a hydrometer reading so dont no what the finale abv will be but was hoping for about 7-8 %

If you try to add sugar to increase the ABV that much you will have dry horrible beer.

OK thanks for the heads up, me dont want dry horrible beer so will leave alone as it is. I was just hoping to give it a few more %, all the IPA ive tried in the past have been quite stronge around 6-7 % thats how i like um. cheers rich
