alc??

[Raffie]

6lb dme and 2lbs clover honey last 15 minutes.

SG 1.052, does that sound right?

 

[Raffie]

so using ther 1098 ale any est in the alc %?

 

[brewt00l]

what's your batch size?

Figure on 45 points for the dme and 35 for the honey and you can cal your SG off that...a 5 gal batch would yeild around 1.068.

5 gal, normal size

ProMash sayeth 1.072. 46 points for the DME, 42 for the honey.

The 1098's mean attenuation is 74%, which leaves you with an estimated 7.16% ABV if you ferment down to 1.018 FG.

hmm...my promash database has clover honey at 35 points and I see it quoted on line around 35 from a few different sites. I don't use honey in my brewing and haven't taken a reading on a brew with honey so I can't say which is a more accurate number. Interesting.

There is no standard for honey, so you never really know what you'll get from it unless you measure it yourself. Put 1 oz of your honey in 1 cup of water and measure it with your hydrometer/refractometer. That will give you the ppg number.

I figure roughly 1lb of fermetable sugar is %1 alc...

But for the purposes of estimating in this case, what's a good estimate for points?.......
