so this is my first homebrew that wasn't a brewers best kit.. I made a honey lager and my OG was 1.061 and my FG is at 1.011...is there a general formula to figure out you alcohol percentage? thanks for hte help!!!
is there a general formula to figure out you alcohol percentage?
What Ollllo said....
basically - starting gravity - final gravity times 105
I was pretty sure that it's times 131. Can anyone confirm which is correct?
Edit: the calculator above comes out at 6.3% so I think 131 will give a closer estimate of abv than 105 (If you back into the calculation on the calculator on brewhaus it's OG-FG*126)
Does this take into account the fermentation that occurs after botting/kegging when the priming sugar is added, or is that just neglectable?
Not just neglectable, but also negligible.
It really is not a factor.
