brianc6 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 if your after a estimated level mate check out liquorcraft they have a calculator on there that would give you an estimate on alcohol level you just have to put in the info and it will give you a estimated level [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Drink six beers, if you are drunk it is heavy, if you are happy it is mid, if you are pissing a lot it is light![lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Master Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Good one Ross!!!! Someone has to fill in for Muddy while he is away.[lol] Keep it up. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurtis Staggersalot Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 You could just use your hydrometer... Take a gravity reading when you mix up a batch (before you pitch the yeast) Then take two more (a day apart) when you figure fermentation is over, if the reading is the same and fairly low you are good to bottle. There's a formula provided with the beer kit for finding your ABV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearnage Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I figured someone had to get all practical on us - but I thought Ross was on to something there. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
