Has anyone used the 1% alcohol boost from AHS? Is says to add during the boil, but I'm not sure when. Also, how will it affect my SG? The OG of the beer is supposed to be 1.052. I'm assuming that the boost will raise my SG.
 
Surely it would be better to add Malt Extract to increase the OG? At least that way you'll get some extra flavour.
 
This has been discussed time and time again.

The idea with the ABV Boost is to boost the ABV WITHOUT affecting the taste. No need to re-balance the hops that way.
