Forgot to take a reading - rough guess at %?

thrall said:

Hey,

I made my latest batch using 2x5l demijohns. In each I used 4.3l of store bought apple juice.

To each of the vessels I added 220g of clover honey and 320g of white sugar. I used some general use high alcohol wine yeast.

I was wanting to get a decent %, maybe 7-8% but I think I may have over done it a little.

Can any more experienced people guess what % I will get?

Can you get any more of the same apple juice and take a reading? You could also get the amount of sugar from the nutritional label if you still have the container. Either would take most of the guess work out of this.

I'm used to working with pounds and gallons, so I hope I converted correctly. I get an OG around 1.086, which would give you about 12% ABV if it ferments dry.

With those numbers, I get 1.083, which puts you around 11.5% ABV if it ferments dry.
