ABV & Attenuation Calculator

Gravity Readings

Both as specific gravity, from a hydrometer or a refractometer. If your FG came from a refractometer, correct it for alcohol first — raw readings run high once fermentation begins.

e.g. 1.050
e.g. 1.010

Apparent Attenuation
Real Attenuation

Apparent attenuation is what most brewing software reports, and it overstates how much sugar actually converted — alcohol is less dense than water, so it drags the final gravity reading down further than the remaining sugar alone would. Real attenuation corrects for that, giving a more accurate picture of how thoroughly your yeast actually finished the job.
