I just looked at the hydrometer for the first time, in detail...noticed it has a reading for alcohol levels.
Recipe #1, if we assume 1.039 as our adjusted reading, would have an alcohol content of around 5%, if the specific gravity drops all the way down to 1.00 (not possible, but we could realistically ferment down to 1.010, which would leave us with approx 4% alcohol).
Recipe #2, if we use our adjusted reading of 1.062, would net out a max of around 8%. so if we could ferment this batch down to around 1.010, or so, we could net out around a 7% abv.

mmm...7% sounds good to me on this batch.
ReplyDeleteIt's obtainable. We need to try to let this thing get down to 1.010, in the carboy, before we bottle it.
