Hi,
i want to find my alcohol content.
I know that you take an initial gravity and a final gravity..thats fine..
but..
in first fermentation i added all my malts etc...this stood for 3 days...the gravity came down from 1038 to 1016...then I added another 1kg (2lb?) of glucose powder. this raised the gravity back up to 1036.
after 7 days the grav' is down to 1006 and ready for sec' ferm'..
i dont think the normal way of reading the alcohol content will work in this situation...
can anyone shed any light on the matter..
Thanks
