Convert SG or Brix to Alcohol
Purpose
Background
This calculation is based on the method proposed by Duncan and Acton -Progressive Winemaking. The calculation is based on the initial and final gravity with the correction for DSOS being the assumed gravity contribution from Dissolved Solids Other than Sugar. The correction for DSOS is hard to judge, but one suggestion is to use pre-ferment figures from previous vintages for same juices for which you know the final alcohol and tweak the DSOS until the calculation gives you the correct value before using this calculator for making predictions for similar juices.
