A basic formula [4] to calculate beer strength based on the difference between the original and final SG is: A B V = 131.25 ( O G − F G ) {\displaystyle ABV=131.25(OG-FG)} The formula below [ 5 ] is an alternate equation which provides more accurate estimates at higher alcohol percentages (it is typically used for beers above 6 or 7%).

Another way of adding sugar or flavoring to a malt beverage is the addition of natural or artificial sugar products such as honey, white sugar, Dextrose and/or malt extract. While these ingredients can be added during the mash, the enzymes in the mash do not act on them.
A close-up view of grains steeping in warm water during the mashing stage of brewing. In brewing and distilling, mashing is the process of combining ground grain – malted barley and sometimes supplementary grains such as corn, sorghum, rye, or wheat (known as the "grain bill") – with water and then heating the mixture.
What is sugar alcohol? According to Beaumont Health, sugar alcohol is a reduced-calorie sweetener. It is a carbohydrate with a chemical makeup similar to sugar — meaning it can activate ...
The density of a wort is largely dependent on the sugar content of the wort. During alcohol fermentation, yeast converts sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol. By monitoring the decline in SG over time the brewer obtains information about the health and progress of the fermentation and determines that it is complete when gravity stops declining.
English sparging (or batch sparging) drains the wort completely from the mash, after which more water is added, held for a while at 76 °C (169 °F) and then drained again. The second draining can be used in making a lighter-bodied low-alcohol beer known as small beer, or can be added to the first draining. Some homebrewers use English sparging ...
A good rule of thumb is to trust the recipe. A sweet potato casserole recipe might call for three pounds, or about 48 ounces, of sweet potatoes. By Burgess’s estimation, that should equate to 9 ...
