Alcohol by volume (ABV) is calculated from starting and finishing gravity readings. The gravity drop indicates how much sugar was converted to alcohol by fermentation.

Formel

ABV ≈ (OG - FG) × 131.25, where OG/FG are original/final gravity

Trinn-for-trinn guide

1Measure original gravity (OG) before fermentation
2Measure final gravity (FG) after fermentation
3Apply formula to estimate ABV percentage

(0.050) × 131.25

Vanlige feil å unngå

✕Using Plato instead of specific gravity
✕Not controlling fermentation temperature
