Hi everyone,
At the risk of going over ground which may have been covered on this forum (many times?) before I was wondering if there is a standard UK method of abv calculation.
I used to use the ...divide by 7.36 method but started to notice discrepancies with other data when I started looking at Brix conversion and refractometry. It seems that the Americans tend to adopt the 'multiply by 131' or '135' approach.
I understand why these variations occur but just out of interest I was wondering if it is a case of 'each to his/her own', or if there is a standard UK approach to such calculations?
Cheers!
