Hi,
ok, I understand the theory of what Alcohol By Volume is. I get it.
What I scratch my head at is this;
I have my 5 gallon batch of lovely homebrew with an ABV of (for example) 5%. That means that I have 5 gallons of 5% abv, correct?
Now (seriously, I'm not a dummy but can't get my head around this) I take my 5 gallons and put into my many bottles; ABV - 5% per bottle, oui?
Ok.. So I drink 5 bottles and I'm feeling pretty darn good.
5 bottles at 5% does not equal 25 % alcohol intake, does it?
If I take a straw to my 5 Gallons of 5%, would I still not get completelly fit shaced?
Thanks in advance for a proper breakdown.
