i just bottled an Imperial Red Honey Ale that i brewed on 11/01. I hadn't planned on using real honey, just Honey Malt. however, when i took O.G. reading i was way off... expecting 1.082 and only measured 1.070. after one week and airlock had quit bubbling, i added a .lb of real honey. when i bottled today, there was an F.G. reading of 1.012. This is better than i thought i would get. But i had a question about how much the real honey boosted my O.G. Is there a formula or calculation for estimating that? i would like to find out my true ABV, or get as close as possible. Does honey boost gravity on a constant scale?
