Just got new Vee Gee refractometer. Tested brew bottled Dec 10, 2012. Reads 8.4 = 1.035 = 4.6 ABV from 1.070 hydro OG
Had tested FG with 4 hydro's as I picked them up at a yard sale. One was my regular hydro and the other 3 were the yard sale ones. All matched.
Did not have refractometer when brewing. Just tested saved wort. FG from hydro was 1.018 = 6.9 ABV.
This is NOT a 4.6 beer. My wife and I shared a 12 oz beer sample from this batch to taste it. We both could feel it.
Thinking the beer is closer to 7%. Thinking the brix should be 4.4
