Hey there,
So this is a two part question.
First question: Is there any way I can tell approximately how much alcohol % is in my finished beer after all the process is completed?
I've made a batch of beer using a kit that starts from making wort, fermentation, 2nd fermentation, bottling, and hopefully drinking.
I've attached a picture of my hydrometer with a line about where it falls when dropping it in the beer poured from one of the bottles. To me this seems to indicate my beer is barley beer, and looking at another section on the hydrometer labeled potential alcohol by volume hits pretty much about 0%. Now I am not sure if they are accurate to use for beer or not.
2nd question: I've tried many times to follow the instructions with the beer kits to use the hydrometer throughout the beer making process to capture various readings. I seem to find this process rather confusing. So, wondering if anyone has any suggestions and/or if there is a nice tutorial I can follow for this?
Hope you can help!
Cheers!
