Ya know, capiche is a word the kids just don’t use enough. Thanks, Bob. Now everything is copacetic, another word we need more of.

You’re right, but most of them couldn’t pronounce either word, or even know what they mean.
One thing to note, those “calculations” based on “OG - FG = ABV” are only loose approximations, and get increasingly inaccurate as gravity goes up. The relationship is not linear; OG 10.050 and FG 1.010 does not result in the same ABV as OG 1.060 and FG 1.020, even though the change in gravity is the same. Really alcohol can only be measured, but pretty accurate estimates can be made with a complex cubic equation. If you’re brewing big beers (or any beers really) and want a reasonable idea of your alcohol content, it would be easiest to use a calculator. The online calculator at Brewer’s Friend, if you specify the “alternate” formula, gives you as accurate a figure as you can get, and does all the work for you.
Yeah, an approximate abv figure is fine with me, it just looked like it might deviate by 3% points when I changed it from 5 to 6 gallons. I wasnt sure…
