I boiled up an extract recipe for a 5 gal batch of california common, put it in the fermenter two days ago, and now realize I left out half of the liquid extract during the boil step, so the final beer will be 2.8% alchohol instead of the 4.9% I intended.
Would adding a liter of vodka bring the alch level back up to about where it should be without screwing up the flavor balance? If this can work, when should I add the vodka - during the fermentation process, or just before bottling?
