ABV on a barrel aged brew???

[Chris Palmer]

I have a mead that went into a NOCO Distillery barrel about 2 1/2 years ago. 5.5 gallons at 14% ABV went in, and, after angel's share, about 2 gallons are left to bottle. Is there a way to get the new ABV, without having to have one of those many-thousand-dollar electronic tools? 

Thanks!

Thirsty angel you got there. 

Find a local brewery with an alcolyzer and ask nicely 🙂
