So I brewed a 5 gal Porter which checked at 7% after primary. While that was happening, I had a bunch of oak chips soaking in 16 oz of 40% whiskey. After primary was complete, I racked the Porter onto the chips AND the whiskey. How much is my final ABV?
Just trying to think it through, here's what I came up with...
5 gal = 640 oz + 16 oz of whiskey =656 oz.
7% ABV beer + 40% whiskey = 47%
47/656=0.0716463415
So...by adding the whiskey, I went from 7% to 7.16% ??
