Alcohol Content of Your Brew

Below is a formula that can be used to determine the alcohol content of your brew. Be sure to check the specific gravity at the start of fermentation to get your Original Gravity (OG) and also record your Final Gravity (FG) at the end of fermentation.

Boonsbrew Info and Tips Post 1

Here are some things that I have learnt so far that might help you: 
  1. Always record the details of each brew and keep them so you can know exactly what you did if things go extremely well (or terribly badly). That way you will be able to replicate your good efforts again or avoid bad recipes and techniques. 
  2. Reduce the variables in your brew - use consistent amounts of ingredients, use all the same sized bottles etc - this will help you control each brew and create a consistent result from bottle to bottle, glass to glass.
