as some of you already know-- i never took a hydrometer reading and everyone gave me real great advice on what to do next time. but what can i do this time to at least get the alcohol % of my brew?
Why can't I just take a sample, drop my hydrometer in it-
and look at the conversion chart that came with the hydrometer,
heres an excerpt from that table.
1.025 Specific Gravity = 3.2% alcohol
1.030 Specific Gravity = 3.9% alcohol
1.035 Specific Gravity = 4.5% alcohol
1.040 Specific Gravity = 5.3% alcohol
1.045 Specific Gravity = 5.8% alcohol
1.050 Specific Gravity = 6.4% alcohol
1.055 Specific Gravity = 7.3% alcohol
I could repeat this over 1-2 days and take the average possibly?
