Technical Question

[jessiejames12169]

So I have used a recipe that called for the following:

1/2 Gal Apple Cider
1/2 Gal Apple Juice
Sugar
Cin sticks
1/2 Liter of 190 proof ever clear.

I used the above with the acception of I used 100 proof moonshine- 7 PINTS.... what would the proof be?? Any ideas? Please help!

That would be approx 7095ml total. With approx 1655ml of 100% alcohol. So around 23%% ABV or 46 proof. Roughly. Don't know how much sugar you used. That takes up volume. So it could be less like 21% or 22%.

You need to figure out how much 100% alcohol you added. Then how much total volume you ended up with. And figure out what percent that makes it.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach them how to fish..... or so the saying goes. Bookmark this spot on the parent site and you will be able to figure it out in the future yourself when you add sugar and your alcometer no longer reads.

And more research = less questions... The information is all here if you take the time to do the research rather than waiting until you're in over your head and then hunt randomly for answers - or just keep asking questions that have already been answered... See, I'm trying to teach you to fish the right way... Drunken knuckleheads tossing explosives in the water aren't fishermen even if they do go home with fish, they're just fish killers that will always take the easy way out...

Thank you for the replies. At that point we hadn't added any sugar. I'm wondering if that changes the 46 proof ...

ABV alcohol by volume. When you add sugar you are adding volume. So yes it will change the ABV.
