I'm trying a recipe from the "Brew Your Own" magazine for a "Biere de Guarde".

http://byo.com/stories/issue/item/217-biére-de-garde-style-profile

In the instructions for the extract w/specialty grains, it talks about adding "brewing liquor" to the steeping liquid after the sparge. The recipe also mentions "liquoring down the wort" after the boil, if needed

What is "brewing liquor"? What is "liquoring down the wort"

It talks about sparging with a gallon of cold water. Would "brewing liquor" be a heated version of sparge water, or would it be as simple as adding more water to the wort/steeping liquid?
 
What! I've been adding vodka to my batches all this time! No wonder they're all 50% abv!
