How to count alcohol %?

OG : 1.068
FG : 1.015

Today I drank it and now kind of taste is good but i shouldn't be easily . How much % is this? Thanks

The forumla I've seen is
(OG-FG)*131.25

So for you you've got
(1.068 - 1.015) * 131.25 = 6.96%

 

You posted here, so you obviously have internet access. Google ABV calculator and punch in the numbers.

Personally I use http://www.rooftopbrew.net/abv.php lets you adjust for temperature, and can't be any easier to use.

 

7% ABV. Yea that is like drinking 2 bottles of miller/bud.

 

Most reliable way is to start with 15, drink a beer, subtract one, repeat. Whatever the number is when you wake up is the approximate ABV.

 

Science. It's a beautiful thing. !!

 

jaytizzle: Thanks.. Drunk badly last night after 2 bottle of 660ml
lurker18: 7.1% ABV?? No wonder... Thanks
Jayhem: Yeah... around there... Thanks

Just-a-Guy: What's that mean?

Thanks

I will remember this nugget of wisdom for life.

 

Hahaha - nice!

 

1 ABV hahaha!
2 ABV hahaha!
3 ABV hahaha!
4 ABV hahaha!
5% ABV hahaha ...burp!
6% ABV hahaha

 

The Real real answer is send it to a lab, but nobody ever does that. The real answer is plug Og and FG ito na table similar to the one published in How to Brew. I did a table reverse engineering the Og and FG numbers to calculate the multi[lier and got OG-FG *133% fairly consistently.

 

I use the Cooper's formula of (OG-FG)/7.46 + .5 = ABV%. So by this one,it'd be 7.6%.

 

abv= OG - FG x 131.25

that equation will get you a good estimate of ABV, to now exactly, you need a lab. there's also a million and two online calculators that will tell you your ABV based on original and final gravities.

 

this is a great webiste with an easy abv calculator with a temp correction for hydrometer (nice for brewday testing too)

the formula is correct ( OG - FG = points converted to ETOH X .131 = ABV)

What bothers me the most is not that there's some 8 different calculators out there. But that they each give a different answer. Cooper's being the highest. Judging from my body's reactions to the ales involved,I'd say it's pretty close!

 

Gotta love the simple, eloquent, and easy to implement formulas.

Cheers to you sir!
