The formula to calculate the Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is:
\[ ABV = (OG - FG) \times 131.25 \]
Where:
Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is a standard measure used worldwide to quantify the amount of alcohol (ethanol) contained in an alcoholic beverage. It is expressed as a percentage that represents the volume of pure ethanol as a proportion of the total volume of the beverage. For example, a beverage with an ABV of 5% means that 5% of the total volume of the beverage is pure alcohol. This measure helps consumers understand the strength of the alcoholic beverage.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ ABV = (1.080 - 1.020) \times 131.25 = 7.88\% \]
The Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is 7.88%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ ABV = (1.050 - 1.010) \times 131.25 = 5.25\% \]
The Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is 5.25%.
