I'm getting ready to filter and keg a Double Imperial IPA. I'ld like to give it one more hop addition prior to carbonation. I want to get the most flavor out of its short time through the Hop Randell so I'm thinking of pre-soaking the hops in a mix of 1 cup water & 1 cup vodka. How long should I allow the mix to soak?
The IPA has already had two 1lb corn sugar additions so it will have a warming effect. Is there a way to figure the additional alcohol into the final ABV figure? Or is it not enough to worry about?
