Adjusting ABV for added Bourbon ????

[baseballstar4]

Anyone know how much adding bourbon to a RIS would increase the ABV?

Based on my readings, the russian imperial stout that I brewed came out with a 9.6% ABV. I soaked oak chips in about 6 oz of bourbon and added 1.5 oz of straight bourbon to the secondary.
My guess is that maybe 0.5 oz soaked into the chips. So I am looking at an addition of 2 oz of bourbon @ 45.2% ABV addedd to the brew.

Thanks

assuming a 5 gallon (640 oz) batch....
45.2 / (640 oz / 2oz) = 45.2/320 = 0.14% increase in ABV...

45.2 ABV? I don't think that would even be considered beer, I'm with Lou, .14% increase.

That was two ounces of 45.2% ABV (or 90.4 proof) added to the beer.
