alcohol percentage.

Post by sam c » Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:35 pm

if my og was 1.056 and my fg was 1.000 my percentage would be about 7.3% according to my hydrometer. but do i add a little more to the percentage because of the sugar used for priming? it doesn't really matter to me its just that i was thinking about it today and wondered if it would make it stronger or not.

yes, it will make it slightly stronger but barely noticable,

oh and are you sure your fg reading was 1.000? beer dosen't usually get down that far

I think he is making TC Garth..

Some of my TC gets so low I fear my hydrometer is going to drown. :shock:
