Most yeast strains five you around 72-76& attenuation, which means that the 4.8 is closer to 3.6% alchohol. And then, that's by weight, and you want by volume, which would be another conversion. But if you follow Stephen's advice, then take about 3/4 of the result, I think you should be close. P.S.> While in Montreal, did you visit Le Cheval Blanc? RE Stephen, assuming complete attenuation.

(12 Plato x 4 + 1000 = 1048, for instance.) Of course, OG only offers a precise picture of alcohol content if you also know the finishing gravity, but if you drop the first two number and stick a decimal between the last two, that gives you a rough idea of the strength. (1048 = 4.8% alcohol.) I’m not smart enough to fully understand the Plato scale, Greg, but I know that if you multiply it by 4 and add 1000 you get an approximation of the Original Gravity.
