i did a search for this and couldn't find anything which surprised me.
i want to accurately determine the amount of beer in my fermenter for pitching rates etc,if i know the weight of my empty fermenter and then i weigh it again with the wort in,deduct the weight of the fermenter and divide the remainder by the gravity am i correct in thinking this will give me an accurate measurement?
(i'm working in metric if that makes any difference)
following are assumed figures
fermenter is 5kg
total weight is 45 kg
wort is 40kg/1.050
=38.095 ltres
correct?
