5 gallons fresh cider, 4lbs brown sugar, Nottingham yeast. Lightly heated one gallon to dissolve sugar, mixed in carboy and added yeast. I put it in my fermentary room(closet) cleaned my mess up and sat down. Realized 30 minutes later I never took a gravity reading. Afraid I would desturb something I left her alone. Racked a week later it was at 1.050 5 days later it was at 1.040. Is there any way I can figure up an approx starting gravity? I realize I cant get exact. Would just like to figure a ballpark number. Feel free to send me a hammer in the mail and I will smack my hand with it. Still semi new to brewing still making mistakes.
