The priming sugar won't make any significant difference to the alcohol content, if it's 4% now then it'll still be pretty much 4% in the bottle. How did you work out the 4%? Do you have an original gravity & a final gravity?

Do you not have the booklet of the top of the can ? It gives you the numbers and the way to calculate them . If not . look at coopers own website for a starter :thumb:
