I made a John Bull masterclass porter which is around 6 lbs of LME, I followed the directions which included not adding any sugar. The brew came out pretty decent, as I do not have a hydrometer (next on the list) I was wondering what the alcohol percentage should be on a brew like this. thanks
LME alcohol percentage?

What was the Target OG and FG?
The kit should have details.

I threw the can away right after I put the wort in the carboy.
This is the best I can do.

LME has a potential to provide about 36 gravity points per pound LME per gallon water.
You used 6 pounds in 5 gallons:
(36 * 6)/5 = estimated gravity points = 43.2
Estimated OG = 1.0432
You'll probably finished at about 1.014-ish, so your estimated ABV would be about 3.8%.
