    Does force carbing = lower ABV than using priming sugar?

    No I don't make the numbers say what ever I like. What I have shown is science.

    Does force carbing = lower ABV than using priming sugar?

    and adding either 20% or 50% priming solution will never lower the ABV. It will always increase it.Adding 300 ml of 20% priming solution to 200 ml of 7% ABV beer will give a final ABV of 10.6%. Even starting with a 10% ABV beer and adding 10ml of 20% priming solution will give a final ABV of...

    Does force carbing = lower ABV than using priming sugar?

    Well in the interests of science & beer comradeship lets run your example 10% ABV homebrew and 20% priming solution 490 ml of 10% hombrew into our 500ml bottle adds 49ml of Ethanol. Adding 10 ml of 20% Glucose adds 2 grams of glucose which will ferment into 1.02 grams of Ethanol which is...

    make that 10cc of priming solution which contains 5grams of Glucose

    Does force carbing = lower ABV than using priming sugar?

    Sorry you are wrong. Priming with 5 grams of 50% Glucose solution ( 500grams per Litre ) in a 500ml bottle of 5% ABV beer will raise the ABV over 10% to 5.54%ABV. Follow this example. 490ml of 5% ABV beer is put in a bottle which now has a total absolute alcohol volume of 24.5ml Priming with...

    Does force carbing = lower ABV than using priming sugar?

    Priming with 10 grams of glucose per liter will raise the ABV by .65% 5 US gallons = 19 liters so 190 grams of Glucose Using a syrup which has 90 grams of Glucose per 100 ml water = roughly corn syrup 211 ml you would add 7.1 US fluid ounces for priming and this will raise the ABV by .65%...
