i made a 5 gallon batch of honey porter.
after 2 weeks in primary abv was 1.020 i bottled 4 gallons and put one gallon in secondary with more honey. i added the honey to give it more of a honey flavor as well as raise the abv a bit maybe. it bubbled and bubbled and 2 weeks later the abv is now 1.017.
so how come it went down. shouldn't with the extra sugar it go up????
please explain.
