Calculates beer alcohol content from original gravity and final gravity. Helps brewers and consumers understand strength.

ସୂତ୍ର

ABV = (OG - FG) × 131.25
ABV
(OG - FG) × 131 — (OG - FG) × 131

  1. 1Original gravity (OG) and final gravity (FG) measured
  2. 2ABV = (OG - FG) × 131.25
  3. 3Ranges: light beer 3-4%, regular 4-5%, craft 5-8%, imperial stouts 8-12%+
  4. 4Hydrometer measures specific gravity

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

  • Assuming darker beer equals higher ABV (not true)
  • Not accounting for gravity adjustment formulas at high ABV

What's the difference between ABV and IBU?

ABV: alcohol content (strength); IBU: bitterness units (not strength related).

Do different beer styles have different ABV?

Yes; lagers 4-6%, IPAs 6-8%, stouts 5-8%, imperial styles 8-12%+.
