Just wondering if the alcohol content goes up a significant amount after priming. My IPA was sitting at 4% when I bottled it tonight, was wondering if the priming sugar would affect that at all.

The remaining yeast in the bottle ferments the sugar creating CO2 which carbonates the beer. It doesn't produce enough alcohol to make an appreciable difference.Cass said:Just wondering if the alcohol content goes up a significant amount after priming.
