Tips

1
Take your OG reading before pitching yeast, and FG after fermentation is fully complete
2
For high-gravity beers (OG > 1.070), the alternate formula ABV = (76.08 × (OG-FG) / (1.775-OG)) × (FG/0.794) is more accurate

Open formula

ABV = (OG - FG) × 131.25

Standard ABV formula using the difference between original and final gravity.
