HI,
I would like to know what is your best/accurate technique to calculate the ABV of your beer.
I'm asking it because I broke my hydrometer, just bought a new one and came with instructions. For the last year I was using a little app for my phone to calculate the%
But when I tried the instructions, my beer went from 5.6% to 6.6%
So I'm curious to know which one is good?
I also include the instruction that came with the hydrometer
OG: 1.048
FG: 1.006
Cheers,
Oh I forgot to mention this ... the formula that came with the hydrometer (example):
Initial SP.GR: 1.040 = 4.7
Final SP.GR: 1.010 = 0.1
Alcohol content = 4.6%
