Testing specific gravity

msicilian18 · Feb 9, 2013

Ok made my first batch ever. And maybe a rookie mistake, but I never took my specific gravity right before kegging and carbonating it. Question is. Can I test it now? Or am I out of luck? Thanks for help. By the way. Made a wheat beer and came out really well. Was shocked

Sure. It's a bit of a pain to decarb beer, but a bit of shaking usually works.

Out of luck. You boiled it, right?

Yes. And I took the SG right before fermenting, and during. I just never took my final.

As Mal said, you can pour some carbonated beer into your hydrometer jar and leave it to go flat and then take the reading.
