If I recall correctly if your beer is over 30or40 ibu then dh can decrease bitterness if it's under then it can increase. Shellhammers work is somewhere on the hopsteiner site.
I dont doubt it can increase ibu, but it isn't straightforward. The science behind it is interesting, I'm recalling this from something I read early this year, so best to google

After a beer or two I came up with a possible solution, boil up some water add some dme, cool it and add to your fermentor? Could possibly balance it out? You're still fermenting, so worth a shot? Not sure, haven't tried it myself, what's everyone else's thoughts?

So I got a second opinion and it's clear. I need to add DME. My og was 1040 instead of 1049. Fg is 1006. It needs body badly. I wanted to get to 1045 with the addition. I have 25l in the fermenter so beersmith says
340g addition.
Do you think its enough to help the body or should I go for 1049?

Bottling night.
I decided to add my priming DME (not sugar so I can get a little more body from priming) to the fermenter not the bottles individually to save time. BUT forgot to take the sg before. So I have no idea how strong it is. But the sg after priming is 1014 so probably not to bad.
Anyway I dont think its red, more deep amber
Still not well balanced though. I'll call this one school fees and every time I taste it I'll know I need to brew better. The bitterness overpowers everything. I cant even tell you what flavors or aromas there are. I'll do a more detailed taste test after conditioning but at this point this one is not for the record books.
