Equation for alcohol content

To me, it appears that the divide by 7.36 is the fastest and closest. Over several ranges it is 0%to 0.2%higher thanthe formula that Joseph posted (and that is within +/- 0.5%). Therefore I thinkI shall add ~ in front of all my %'s. 8O)

here's what I get on my ice wine. (1.150; 1.052)


#1 (waldo) 12.8
#2 (wade) 13.3
#3 (cajun) 14.3
#4 (stinkie) 12.6
#5 (joseph) 13.2


Has anyone charted their favorite formula on a spread sheet? That way all you would need to know is the difference between original and ending SG and then look at the chart.

Step right up and guess your alc.

Here is another one I found on the net.


SG start - SG finish divided by 10 X1.3


1.150-1.052=.098 divide by 10=.0098 x 1.3= 12.7%


Anyone confused yet?????
