If I let a glass of beer warm to room temp, and the use the hydrometer will it tell me what % the beer is? I had someone ask me after I gave them a bottle.

Revvy's is the formula I have always seen.
The Coopers formula makes everything 5% or more. Take 1.000 water, ferment and it is still 1.000 water. Divide by 7 and it is still zero. Then add .5. That doesn't make any sense.
Not in my experience. I've used their formula & got 4.5% as well.
I think you may have typed it wrong or something. Try it with 1.050 OG and 1.010 FG (fairly common readings). That works out to about 5.2% with Revvy's formula but .5067 with Coopers. What is that supposed to mean?
