Does anyone know (or know a way to calculate) how many points bourbon soaked oak chips would add to the ABV of a homebrew? It's a 5 gal. batch, 5% ABV Porter and I'm going to add 2 oz. of American Medium Toast chips/cubes, that have been soaking in Woodford Reserve Bourbon (42.3% ABV)
for two weeks, to the secondary for aging for another two weeks. The chips have been soaking in just enough bourbon to cover them and I plan on tossing JUST the cubes; NOT the bourbon.
