Hey, don't scratch 'em. They'll jump on me.... :cross:

All I was really looking for was a calculator since the only result I had to compare to was the ABW/ABV. OG=1.040 (temp corrected) FG=1.002 (temp corrected) ABW=3.9 ABV=5% This is correct ABW/ABV according to the recipe, so my first batch fermented completely according to the crap hydrometer...

Good point.... measure twice, cut once.

i'm planning on doing gravity readings the next few nights to make sure fermentation is complete, but really just needed a calculator to plug the FG into so i could check ABV and stuff. I didn't want to be the n00b that is checking gravity 3 times a day after the airlock starts bubbling...

They don't give you the recipe either. It was 7 lbs of wheat LME some steeping grains and 2 hop additions.
