Is there a way to estimate % ABV without a starting gravity reading? I wasn't able to get a SG reading because I didn't have my hydrometer yet for my first batch. I'm going to be opening the first bottle today.
The hyrdrometer I have does have 3 scales, BRIX (?), Specific Gravity and Potential % ABV. The instructions say to take a Potential ABV reading before and after fermentation and subtract the first from the second.
I'd like to come up with at least a good guess.
Thanks for any info!
