Alcohol Content

Can any one tell me exactly how to measure the brew's alcohol content. I know it is something about specific gravity, before and after, and some math....but how, exactly?
thanks
Sarah

We don't know on these first two batches, as my grandson thought the hydrometer was a great toy 'til he broke it.
I gotta get over to Victor's for a new one.; ▶ Reply to This
