Quick one for you guys, bit of a newbie here,
I have a gallon straight apple cider going at the moment. OG was 1.050 and after a week it was down 1.004 giving me a rough ABV of 6%. I've added 7oz of white sugar to boost the ABV. From what I've read, that should equate to about an extra 2% abv in a gallon.
Does anybody know:
1 - Is that correct?
2 - Is there a formula/equation for working out how many gravity points a certain mount of sugar would add? For example, if I had my FG at 1.000 and wanted to raise it to 1.020? (In a gallon)
3 - How do you work out final ABV after step feeding?
Cheers,
Jack
