I have a quick question for everyone on the board. Austin Homebrew sells a 1% alcohol boost with their beer kits for ~$1.50. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly is contained in this alcohol boost. Is it just extra sugar?
Along these lines, if I wanted to do the same without using this alcohol boost kit, what would i need to do? I've heard of people using a couple of carbonation drops and putting them in the primary with the wort. Would this significantly change the flavor of the beer?
I may try to push the envelope with a future beer as an experiment. See how far i can go without putting the flavor off.
BTW, this is in no way related to the fact that my first beer (bottled) has an ABV around 2.5%. In no way at all.... :fro:
