So do you use American Standard or Metric in your measurements? How far do you take it? Obviously this thread is of interest to American brewers more than International folks.
Do you use ounces or grams? Pounds or kiligrams? The answers are probably easy.
Taking it a bir further: do you use milligrams or grains? I bought a grain scale so I can avoid milligrams.
When you think of a wine bottle is it 750ml or a fifth?
I use the metric system in my yeast starters in the sense that my erlenmerer flask is graduated in ml. But I approximate a liter to a quart and the fermentable I add is measured in pounds. Sometimes I've been known to calculate ml/gallon.
Just curious what people are doing. Do you intentionally avoid metric or are you ambivalent. I tend to avoid out of a sense of tradition, but I'll use it when I can't get away from it.
