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.

Формула

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

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

Worked Examples

Инпут
OG = 1.060, FG = 1.010
Резултат
ABV ≈ 6.5%
(0.050) × 131.25

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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