I am aiming to brew a beer that will finish out at about 20% alc/vol.
1) The yeast strain I found, the owner of the home brew shop I use, says is good for up to 20-25% alc. Can I add all the sugars at once and if not, why?
1A) If I need to continually add sugar to the beer while it is fermenting, how do I get a true alcohol reading with my hydrometer. I can figure out the initial reading but what about each time I add more sugar? How do I factor that into the alcohol %?
Thanks for the help!
