    The spraymalt will increase the alcohol content if added in addition to the specified amount of sugar as it will ferment in the same way. As long as the hydrometer readings keep getting lower it's going in the right direction, and with your first and very last hydrometer reading you will be able to calculate the approximate alcohol content
