Beer
The calculation for beer is:
Where 1.05 is number of grams of ethanol produced for every gram of CO2 produced and .79 is the density of ethanol,
- ABV = ((1.05 * (Starting SG – Final SG)) / Final SG) / 0.79 * 100
However, many brewers use the following formula:
- ABV = (Starting SG - Final SG) * 131

Famous quotes containing the word beer:
“Now I am alone with the dead,
flying off bridges,
hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket.
I am flying like a single red rose,
leaving a jet stream
of solitude....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Time grows dim. Time that was so long
grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.
Time, old gal of mine, will soon dim out.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“You can’t be a Real Country unless you have A BEER and an airline—it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.”
—Frank Zappa (1940–1993)
