Hypothetical
This hop megatron bomb blasts your palette in places you didn’t know you had taste buds. Brilliantly golden, with a faintly green hue due to the incessant hop additions that continue from 1st wort through the boil, the hopback, primary and secondary fermentations, cold aging and the serving vessel—this skillfully crafted beer has enough alpha acids in it to bitter a barleywine three times its size. A liquid death-metal lyric to the essential essence of humulus lupulus--not for the faint of hop.

While we have a thriving, growing homebrew community in Texas and here in San Antonio, we realize not everyone knows the difference between a hydrometer and thermometer.

FG: |
Final Gravity, as dissolved sugars are converted into alcohol during fermentation, the density drops closer to that of water. The difference between the two (OG-FG) is used to calcualte alcohol content.
