Just out of curiosity.

Hi all.
a question purely for my personal curiosity.

If I were to keep repitching yeast with boiled and cooled sugar after primary(9 days), what would happen? Would my alcohol percentage go up? would my batch become contaminated?

You'd waste a lot of time, add "off" flavours to your beer, risk contamination and raise your ABV by "not much".

You're making gallons of beer, if you want a bit more buzz, have another.

Adding more malt to your next brew is the best way to make it "stronger" without adding bad flavours into the mix.

Just out of curiosity.
