The hydrometer is used to measure
the amount of sugar in your beer wort or wine must. This measurement
is called the specific gravity. The first reading you take (prior
to adding yeast) is the original gravity. Our last reading (prior
to packaging) is the final gravity. These two numbers are used to
calculate the alcohol content of the beverage. For details of the
calculation see Calculating Alcohol Content.
