Hello everybody!
I've been measuring the ABV with the (OG-FG) X 131.25 equation believing I was somewhere in the ballpark. I also am aware that the formula becomes less accurate with higher ABV beers. I do not know what constitutes the low end of a high ABV beer.
My recent beers have 8# of DME and 3# of table sugar.
My OG has been consistent for many batches at 1.104 and the FG has been consistent at 1.004.
There's the Brewers Friend calculator that has two options, one is the above (I think) and there's an "Alternate" option. Does anyone know, for a fact, if that "Alternate" calculator is accurate for high ABV beers?
If not, is there a way I can get fairly close to measuring my ABV accurately?
Thank you very much.
