Hello, here a very newbie at brewing, so some doubts. One of them is related with the use of calculators in this site. When I try to know the alcohol by volume in my brewed product I obtain different numbers depending on the calculator.
The difference is subtantial as for the same OG (Brix 9) and FG (Brix 3.8) I get 2.76 % ABV from the calculator "Alcohol by Volume" and 3.85 from "Refractometer calculator" (Wort correction factor=1).
Maybe one or two tenths could be an acceptable difference but the amounts these calculators offer are separated more than one entire unit. I am very confused with these results. Please, could you indicate what of the two calculatores is the right one to get the ABV (and a possible explanation for the difference)?
And yes, my brewing is a bit low in alcohol, no problem.
