I brewed a vanilla weizen a week ago that came out with a corrected OG of 1.036. It had a VERY active fermentation (blew off my airlock) for a week and last night I transfered it to the secondary with a gravity reading of 1.009 @ 68 Degrees. I think the ABV is somewhere are 3.3% now. I knew my SG was low but figured I wouldnt worry about it since it would be a good hot weather brew. But now I am second guessing myself, something in the 4 range would be good, 3 may be too low.
I added a vanilla bean that was split, scrapped and soaked in about 2oz of vodka for about 30 minutes. Will the bean and vodka supply any more fermentables to boost the alcohol content? Is there any other good way to boost the alcohol now that it is in the secondary and off the trub?
