Woodforde's Brewing Kits Additional Notes and Tips.
By following these instructions, your beer should have an alcohol strength of about 4% ABV (Alcohol by Volume).
To check this you will need to take two hydrometer readings, one at the start, before adding the yeast (the SG), and a reading once the beer is ready to bottle (the FG).
You can calculate the strength by deducting the finishing gravity (FG) from the starting gravity (SG).
Record the resultant number and multiply this by 0.129.
to calculate the alcohol strength i.e. 1044 – 1013 = 31 x 0.129 = 4.0%.
