I was considering adding more sugar to my cider so as to boost alcohol content. question i have is, does anyone have a way to calculate the finished ABV% in doing this?
I've taken OG and FG readings (1.052 down to .999) giving me about 7% alcohol. I wanted to bump it closer to 8 and wondered how much sugar to add. would I just bump the sugar content up so the hydrometer reads about 1.007 or 1.008 and then let it referment out a second time to 1.000 or am I underthinking this calculation a bit?
