ok so for my calorie counting....i'm notcing a problem with my bathroom scale not obying me like it usually does since i've been taking a break from brewing beer...
so, i'm thinking it's because i'm not calculating and adding how much sucrose is left over in my hard seltzer...i can get a good idea of the ABW with a refrac, and hydro...but i'm thinking with that info, i should be able to calculate how much sugar is left over also with some math?
so i ferment 12lbs of sucrose in 9-10 gallons of water and it goes down to ~.992, beersmith says it should finish at .987...and i think that's the problem with my scale acting up...
i add half gallon of oj too 4.5 gallons, no problem there, i can just add the juice to the recipe, and it's automatic...
well anyway that's probably being over complicated, because i'm trying to have fun. if sucrose has a density of 1.59g/cm3, ethanol .789 g/cm3...and water ~1.000...
and i have a solution with about 6.8% ABW totalling 18300g's (5gallons) and it has a SG of 1.000 how many carbs does it have?
right now with just the juice calculated i get a total carb amount of 229g's? but i think it's more?
