I have added sugar to my fermenter after fermentation started.
I brewed a lager (ale yeast..) kit with about 900 grams of table sugar (not corn). I knew it was too little as per the instructions (1 kg), but i had it all going already with the boil and everything.
Did not have the hydeometer as it had just been broken, but gravity was probably around 1.036.
Now, here is the tricky part. After a week i added 250 grams of muntons brew enhancer. Its half dextrose half malt extract i think.
Final gravity after three weeks in fermenter 1.010.
Now, the question. What is my alcohol percentage??
I cant just plug the assumed 1.036 and 1.010 into the calculator, as the 250 grams i added must be taken into account. Anyone care to take a in the ballpark guess?
I dont expect albert einstein to give me the full answer, just someone to point me in a direction of some sorts.
I just want to hear that my alcohol is more or not much less than four...
