ACV without initial SG reading

[Rab_Himself]

Is there anyway to determine acv when you forgot to take a initial gravity?

Extract or grain? If it was extract, you can figure out what the OG was. If it's an extract kit, it should tell you. As long as you used all the extract and ended up with the right volume in your fermentor, it's whatever the kit said it would be.

It was a combo, honey was added also. Guess I'll just have to gauge it by my mind buzz huh?

Your extract kit will tell you what ABV will be without the honey and you can figure out the amount the honey will add giving you the total if you want to do the calculation. personally, I'd probably just drink it and forget how much alcohol the honey added.

1 lb of honey will add somewhere between 0.006 and 0.007 to the OG in a 5 gallon batch.
