    The wife shattered my hydrometer washing with it with hot water.I can't figure out the Hydrometer correction charts :-( My og was 1.085 and my current after 9 days is 1.041 at 72 degrees. Can somebody tell me my current ABV ??? Thanks in advance !!!!

    Lots of calculators available for these types of things here. At 72F the correction is negligible so you would be sitting at 5.78% give or take.
