O I have been going crazy with making root beer lately. I am only using real herbs, no extract... I am using an Ale yeast to ferments. I tests out the second batch I made today and compared the two. Out of curiosity I took out my hydrometer and tested each brew. Much to my surprise it read that both batches had 5% ABV with a gravity of 1.040. Not that I a. Complaining, but how can this be. I was expecting maybe 0.03% but not 5%
