Calculating ABV without OG

[bracconiere]

damn, a double bumped thread! or triple.....


i got a refrac now, and i can say comparing the reading between it and a hydrometer...gives a pretty good ABV reading.....


trying to do it by weight, not so much.....

Or you can just take an OG reading and eliminate the headache lol , jk . Pretty cool using math to figure it out . Heck I usually just drink it .

wouldn't work for my ciders that i dump 4lbs sugar into....because i don't stir in the sugar thoroughly, and different brands of juice give different gravities....

i'd imagine a no boil extract recipie would have a similar technical problem...in fact i see people having it all the time around here,
