When is the proper time to back sweeten?
I have a batch that came out pretty strong and despite a higher then expected SG is not very sweet at all.
I made the batch in Sept last year and it was very "Mouth wash" flavored and has improved over time, but is still not "Pleasant".
My question is do I just let this bulk age more and back sweeten some time later or should I back sweeten now and bottle it and then let it age?
My concern is that it might mellow out and then end up to sweet as the sweetness come forward more as it ages...I have a hard time believing that the way it tastes now, but as I said, first time thru.
