FermCalc ABVs

[bmd2k1]

Anyone else use FermCalc for ABV computation? They tend to have 4 different values...which I just average to get my ABV estimate. Wondering what others thoughts are on this?

See example below...

Thanks! Do u lean to any one particular calculation for the "best" ABV estimate? ..or do you utilize a different methodology?

I'm apt to drop the high & low -- then average the other 2.

I've been using the "alternate equation" from Brewer's Friend, which should match the Balling equation in FermCalc, but it doesn't and I don't know why. .. So, I just don't know which provides the best estimate.

I haven't really felt the need for high precision for ABV estimation.

@Silver_Is_Money any thoughts?

It's not something I've ever given thought to.
