Was looking for how to measure alcohol levels. To my horror there seems to be some math involved. Is there not a gauge like a thermometer that I just stick in and it says 7%Turned over a rock on the Google search engine and found info on Kevin yeast that says I can make mead in the desert in summer.

Sorry, no. There is such a hydrometer for alcohol/water mixes (as when distilling), but beer is a witche's brew of water, alcohol, dextrins, proteins, and other stuff. For beer you need to know the OG and FG, and then there are on-line calculators that will do the "heavy" lifting for you. Here's one.Was looking for how to measure alcohol levels.

Yeah, just started this year and have about 50 brews under my belt. I tend to do this with my hobbies, but luckily my wife is very supportive. It helps that she likes drinking (some of) my beers.@aceluby you got bit quick and hard. But I agree, if you want to brew to the best of your ability get the equipment you need and go for it. This forum and others have expert advice and equipment and ingredients are readily available most everywhere.
Yeah wives have a way of being supportive. Mine even came up with a new abbreviation to describe her opinion of one of my concoctions once, NFT. (Not f____ing tasty). Lol.Yeah, just started this year and have about 50 brews under my belt. I tend to do this with my hobbies, but luckily my wife is very supportive. It helps that she likes drinking (some of) my beers.
Mine was "this tastes like bud light" - which I took as a compliment even though she clearly hated the beerYeah wives have a way of being supportive. Mine even came up with a new abbreviation to describe her opinion of one of my concoctions once, NFT. (Not f____ing tasty). Lol.
For beer you need to know the OG and FG
In this case you are using the SG (specifically FG) and RI (expressed as BRIX) to estimate the OG, and then using the OG and FG to calculate ABV. An actual OG measurement is going to have less chance for error than an estimated OG. In any case this isn't really the best thread to discuss more advanced topics.you can also do it with the SG & Refractive index....

Thanks for the welcome and input!Welcome to the community from Alabama. Sounds like you jumped right in. Yes sun light is not good. You can simply wrap it with a blanket or such. Put it in a cool dark location if possible.
Are you using an air lock or blow off tube? Your fermentation should be slowed to almost nothing or finished by now. Do you still see active bubbles rising?
