Caculating ABV
Come across several ABV calculators on the web all of which seem to give different answers
Latest wash was 26 litres started 1150 ended 982 and I am getting any thing from 17.5% to 22%
Which is the best calculator or method and what should the ABV be on this (all at about 24 degrees cel)

Re: Caculating ABV
I am yet to find 2 that do the calculation the same way, whatever the correct answer is, that is a very high alcohol content, if the yeast do manage to convert all that sugar, there will be stress, and it wont be the cleanest of ferments - be prepared for off flavours, a bit less sugar will improve the quality.
Try it both ways to see if you can tell, and what you prefer.

Re: Caculating ABV
Yeah running now def not as clean tasting as triple distilled on 6 and a bit kg
Will filter for sure and use for whisky type mixes I guess
Will try 7 kg next time but must say yeast performed well got a vodka star to run Sunday and have followed that to the letter
Most interesting this !i
