So I use the brewers software and plug in 4kg of grain.
OG= 1.045 and FG= 1.011 which make 4.38% ABV
But when I look at those numbers on my hydrometer sheet, they read
OG= 1.045 (5.52 potential alcohol) and FG= 1.011 (.35 potential approx) making it 5.17% ABV?!
So not sure why the software reads different from my hydrometer table.
I tend to believe my hydrometer as my friend and I both agree after a couple of beers if there isnt more
alcohol than what my hydrometer is even telling me.
I do add .3% for my bottle conditioning just as a margin for error.
Anything I should be considering to feel more confident in my readings?
