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

You can play with the numbers to get an idea. Use 1.028 to start with then just take a guess at what it may ferment to....I'm guessing not lower than 1.020. You'll have a good idea what the FG will be within a .01 or so range. When you are ready to drink it you can take another gravity reading to know for sure.

ETA: Running the calcs there is a difference of .9% abv between 1.028 and 1.020.Not a big deal IMO for a big beer.
