how do make my brew stronger

[ChrisRedWills]

After calculating my og and fg I've ended up with only 4% how can I get it up to about 5 - 6% strength
Any ideas

if its finished fermenting then its too late but next time you can add 500g of sugar but light spray dried malt is better 500g should do it , :

Thanks pittsy

Will adding the extra sugar make a difference in the taste

 

[pittsy]

if sugar a little as in thinner taste bit if light dried malt not really but will add mouthfeel

Or brew it short, i.e.18-20 litres vs 23.

What sort of beer are you brewing, kits, extract or all grain. If your AG just increase your grain bill.

I'm using a lager extract 23 ltr

you could throw more beer kit enhancer in. 1kg adds roughly 1.9% to a 23ltr brew and it wont affect the body or bitterness.
