Hi all

Hi Johnluc,

Not sure why it would create a sweeter beer but you would need to prime you bottles (If you are putting your beer into bottles) with a scant tea spoon of sugar in each bottle to create condition in your beer.

Are you bottling it or casking it?

Forgot to add once you have primed your bottles you will need to leave it in the warm for a week then leave it to condition in the cold :thumb:
