ABV Calculator and Formula: How to Calculate ABV
Gallon of it, for a dessert wine, but keep 4 gallons of it dry for a table wine. #6 Yooper's giving you pearls of wisdom. I take my blackberry to 1.090 then backsweeten to please the folks I am making it for. #7 When I want a sweet wine, I almost never do it by starting with a high gravity. Doing it this way usually gives you a product that tastes like sweetened rocket fuel. I do agree with the posters above. Some fruits, like grape or elderberry, can handle higher alcohol levels. But wines like apple, pear, strawberry, etc. seem to have a greater appeal when the alcohol level is in the 10% area. Much higher and the alcohol overpowers the fruit flavors. #8 I'm fairly new to wine making and I plan on making mostly sweet fruit wines with the highest possible alcohol content without having the dreaded "sweet hit rocket fuel" folks talk about. What alcohol should I shoot for and can someone explain back sweetening to me step by step please. Thank you homebrew family!!! #9 Cjacquette81 said: I'm fairly new to wine making and I plan on making mostly sweet fruit wines with the highest possible alcohol content without having the dreaded "sweet hit rocket fuel" folks talk about.What alcohol should I shoot for and can someone explain back sweetening to me step by step please.Thank you homebrew family!!! I think a good rule for ABV is 9-12% This is measured by subtracting your ending SG from your starting SG and looking up the difference on a chart. Google it, you'll find some good calculators. Some fruits with more body can handle higher alcohol content than others. Back sweetening is as easy as adding sugar after fermentation has been stopped chemically. This means add 1 campden tablet per gallon or equivalent and add sugar or sugar dissolved in water until it tastes good to you. #10 @Rev: Thanks for the information on back sweetening. Is there a ABV calculator app for the iPhone? #11 I think that some of this would depend on the particular yeast and its alcohol tolerance.Does anyone knowc he target FG readings for dry, medium, and sweet wines? Dry Medium dry 1000-1010 Medium sweet 1010-1020 Sweet 1020-1030 Dessert 1030-1040 Hector #12 Is there a ABV calculator app for the iPhone? There probably is, but it's really simple math if you have a triple scale hydrometer. If you look at the potential abv side; subtract your FG from your OG and you'll have approximately your abv. This is only approximate, because alcohol is lighter than water so the calculations are tricky, but if you know what your doing you can estimate to Calculate your ABV (or potential ABV) with our easy ABV calculator! From sessions to barley wines, calculate your ABV with ease. Brewing ABV Calculator. The Brewing ABV Calculator is a valuable tool for homebrewers to calculate the Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of their beer. Converts refractometer readings taken of wort (Brix WRI) to their actual value in Brix / Plato and Specific Gravity. Supports alcohol correction of refractometer readings when calculating FG (which requires OG). Part I: OG Brix WRI Correction: OG - (Brix WRI): Wort Correction Factor: OG - Corrected: Part II: FG Brix WRI Alcohol Present: Original Gravity: Final Gravity: Wort Correction Factor: OG - Corrected: FG - Corrected: Alcohol By Volume: To help clear up confusion with terminology, at Brewer's Friend we have decided to call a Brix measurement of wort: Brix WRI (wort refraction index). Brix WRI makes it clear the measurement pertains to wort and is unadjusted. Only after dividing Brix WRI by the wort correction factor do we arrive at the actual Brix / Plato reading. It is helpful to know that Brix and Plato are nominally the same to 3 decimal places, so the corrected reading can be treated as Plato (°P). For instructions on how to determine your refractometer's wort correction factor, see our post about that. For more information about refractometer use in general: Using your Refractometer Correctly for Maximum Accuracy in Home Brewing. Refractometer readings which contain alcohol must be adjusted by an additional factor. This calculator uses the formula presented in Zymurgy magazine, in the July/August 2017 issue: Novotny, P.

2025-04-08A satisfactory accuracy. Check out this calculator. It has a temp adjuster field, for further usefulness. #13 I'm not a fan of starting too high and having the wine finish sweet. That's hard to do- some yeast strains will easily push 18% or higher if they are happy. Then you have hot sweet rocket fuel that takes years to age out!It's easier to start at 1.085-1.100 whether you want a sweet wine or not. Then, when it's finish, stabilize and sweeten to taste. That's for more predictable, plus you have more options. Commercial grape wines vary in sweetness and that variation is reliable. For example, I know that White Zinfandel and Moscato will be sweet (maybe too sweet, but that is a different topic). How do commercial wineries get a certain level of sweetness? Do the sugars in the grapes exceed the capacity of the yeasts to ferment, or do they also stop the fermentation and backsweeten? I've always imagined it being the former, but now I am wondering how they can consistently ferment the wine and not have all the sugars converted by the yeast. #14 @Rev: Thanks for the information on back sweetening. Is there a ABV calculator app for the iPhone? FG-OG x 131 = ABVi.e. OG of 1.098FG of 1.0001.098-1 = .98 x 131 = 12.83% ABV
