GENERALLY USEFUL TECHNICAL DATA.

The standard American barrel is equal to 1.173 hectolitres, or 31 gallons, of 8.339 pounds, or 258.5 pounds of water at 39.2 F. To determine the degree of real fermentation of a beer multiply the percentage of alcohol by 200, and divide by the original gravity of the wort.

To find from the specific gravity, the approximate percentage of extract in brewers' wort, subtract one and divide the balance by .00399.

To transform the specific gravity into Long degrees, subtract one and multiply by 360.
