I remember reading a thread that mentioned that the ABV is much harder to calculate when you backsweeten.
I was wondering if we start with a OG of 'x.xxx' and end with 'y.yyy' after it ferments dry and I backsweeten to 'z.zzz', to calculate ABV is it not fair to just use x.xxx and z.zzz with an online calculator?
I'll be making a cider with a start of around 1.062, ferment dry, then backsweeten to around 1.014 (or thats a tentative plan). Any insight is appreciated.
