Brix, SG, and Potential ABV

Input either Brix or specific gravity to estimate equivalent readings and potential alcohol.

Inputs

Enter one primary reading. If both are entered, Brix is used as primary.

How It Works

This calculator converts Brix and SG readings and estimates potential ABV.

  1. Enter either Brix or specific gravity reading as your primary measurement.
  2. The tool calculates corresponding sugar-scale value using standard approximations.
  3. Review potential ABV estimates for planning fermentation outcomes.

FAQ

Are these formulas exact?

They are standard approximations useful for planning, not laboratory certification.

Why are there two ABV estimates?

Different conversion assumptions can produce slightly different planning values.

Can temperature affect readings?

Yes. Correct hydrometer and refractometer readings for sample temperature where applicable.
