It's about 70 degrees beer temp approximately.
I've tried to determine the specific gravity and the best I can make out is that it's on the 2.5% or 5 line(mark). I don't know if all specific gravity devices are the same.
Does the 2.5% indicate alcohol content? or is that 2.5% lighter than water?
Sorry, first timer using the readings.
Starting gravity for the Red Ale is 1.042-1.045.
Brewing Date: 8/08/08
Strawberries added to primary: 8/10/08
Racked to Secondary: 8/14/08
Final Gravity is supposed to fall between : 1.008 - 1.010
Alcohol by volume of kit : 4-5%
None of these take into consideration the strawberries and their sugars and other beer changeing properties.
On one note.. it has a nice color, does smell good and tastes good (albiet flat.. hahah)
I plan on letting it sit in secondary for another week or so and then bottleing it. It began releasing bubbles once I was done racking and airlocking so thats a good thing. Racking being done as to not disturb and introduce air.
How can I estimate, or even can I, estimate the alcohol content based on this information?
