adding sugar during fermentation

Post by Bum Chops »

Should it be done? I read that agitating the yeast too much (ie. moving it around alot) is bad for it but it doesnt say much about it anywhere.

Yes, sugar can be added during fermentation. In order to achieve really high ethanol concentrations(~23%), sugar is added slowly as to reduce the amount of stress on the yeast.
