So I forgot to take a beginning measurement because I was in a hurry. Also I have been reading a lot of gravities etc..... and one thing I can find is how the points for certain sugars, extracts, grains etc...... are discovered? Is their a chart I can get so I can have an easy refernce point and go from there until I can memorize them? example : I know that their are points for sugars and points for all the things you put into your beer etc...... but I can't seem to find (and maybe I overlooked it) how these "points" are decided. So the main question is this : I made a ginger ale that I have posted about on here in a different thread and I am trying to figure out what the OG should have been so i can have a reasonable guess at the alcohol content when I take the FG. The sugar I used was cane sugar (8lbs); and then 5 gallons of water 7 oz of ginger and 7 lemons and 3 limes.
