Start 1075 (+75) |
Current 998 (-2) |
You can check the alcohol content of your beer or wine if you have a start reading and a current reading. Why and how it works - read more here. Example: Start reading = 1075 Current reading = 998 The alcohol (by volume) is simply the number of fermented units (start-current) divided by 7.4. Alcohol = (1075-998) / 7.4 = 77 / 7.4 = 10.4 % |
|
This is of course the final alcohol content if your brew has stopped fermenting. To find out if it has, simply check gravity with 1-2 days in between. If you have 998 during several days your fermentation is over. IMPORTANT: This fomula will only work if you do not add water, sugar or anything else during fermentation. If you add things during fermentation, you can not use this simple formula. |
