A math question for you guys:

I have a stout that 1.084 to 1.028, and I racked it and added bourbon. I have an idea of the abv change with the bourbon, but how will the additional volume change the FG? Will I still be able to calculate the Abv?

About to bottle my oaked bourbon stout, and just added the second 2 oz citra addition to my pale ale

Citra, frick yeah!

(Beer Volume (in oz) * Beer ABV %) + (Bourbon Volume (in oz) * Bourbon ABV %) / (Beer Volume + Bourbon Volume)

so 640x.074 + how much bourbon did you add in oz? x bourbon abv .45? / total oz of beer and bourbon.

Are typical home brew batches 5gal?


yes. But you will start with more liquid (wort) and boil off anywhere from 1 to 3 gallons to get down to 5 at the end.
