Wow! I'm doing home brew now for some 20 years; beer and wine, and I never knew this method existed! I've always had a batch now and then where I couldn't be sure of the ABV, perhaps because I forgot to take the SG, for instance, but now I can use this method to get a reasonable estimate of the ABV of any wayward brews. Thank you very much!
Hey bud I'm glad you are doing more videos on ABV. I know you're community is dying for this info. PS some RU-vidrs are putting up polls to drive the algorithm and get more viewers hint hint nudge nudge.
So, based on this, how confident are you that you did the same procedure with similar care in your original video? I remember the results seemed on the high side, but did you make any changes to the way you did things? BTW--the calibration and the sensitivity analysis are really great to see!
Thanks for your question! Yes, that amount is what is necessary to float my particular hydrometer. The bigger the hydrometer, the more accurate it can be. Mine is not particularly accurate -- I've seen larger hydrometers at real breweries.
@@JeffRubidge I see. I used this method today. I got same tools (even smaller hydrometer) , i bought 13.5 alc wine and calculator showed me 13.69. I am very pleased with this method. It seems quite accurate, and plenty for my needs. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I’m happy you tried the same method on a different alcohol to help reverify that the method does indeed work. Could you try it again on maybe a different brew of 청주?
By the way I’m new to brewing 막걸리. Just finished my first brew last week! Turned out well. Was a simple single stage brew I think. Do you have a video describing how stage brewing works?
I found this method on homebrewsake.com/measuring-your-sake-%E2%80%93-part-two-percent-alcohol-by-volume/ The calculator is here: www.musther.net/vinocalc.html#alcoholcalculation . Hope this helps...
