but how will the additional volume change the FG? Will I still be able to calculate the Abv?


(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.

But I don't know the FG of the beer. It was 1.028 when I racked it, but I don't know that it was fermented out.

If I knew how 12 oz of bourbon would change the FG I could back into it
