makes sense - I’ve read people doing it both ways. most comments I’ve read adding during fermentation, is related to attenuation or caramelizing. they add it during fermentation so the yeast attenuates well with the wort before additional workload of the sugars is added. since I’m not pushing a very big OG and my attenuation target is within range, I’d presume adding it up front wouldn’t impact negatively.

It’s not my experience that adding all the sugars in the kettle will have a negative impact on attenuation.  With a good pitch of yeast and good oxygenation I’ve had no trouble fermenting even my biggest tripels to the expected FG.

I know some people go for the additions in the fermenter, but for my money it’s just more work.

+1.060 to all your points.

+1.  I’ve brewed many Belgians, add all sugars to the kettle, and get great attenuation with plenty of healthy yeast and letting fermentation temps free rise after a few days.
