Hello, I'm looking for a way to measure ABV without using brix or hydrometer. I was thinking of weighing the sugar/water mix right when I pitch my yeast, and then after fermentation on a scale. Is it possible to an accurate reading this way? Edit : I found this link : Estimating alcohol by...

Revvy , That beer doesn't seem to compensate the ABV with the "misc" field. Does beersmith have a nice library like the beer calculus you gave me?
