That is a way of doing it and will increase by approx 1%. I will say though when you use that method to increase the alcohol volume, you need to let it sit a bit longer to get the "alcoholy" taste out of it

 

Maybe @BrewArt Team may have other suggestions

G 'Day @Don Bacon & @Rob Courtney,

There are a couple of ways you could go about this depending on what you're going for. 
If you add an X5 it will reduce the mouthfeel and give you a crisper finish.
If you add an X1 it will boost the mouthfeel and give you a rounder finish. 
 

Both will increase the alcohol by about 1% ABV.

Cheers
