Allo allo. I've been absent for a while but I remember this forum used to be smashing.
I'm knocking out a brew after a few years without having the chance. I've got all my stuff ready, jyst gone picked about 4kg of elderberries, brought the yeast, 5kg bag of sugar and realized I no longer have a hydrometer.
I don't need a scientifically accurate answer, just a rough guess. How much sugar to get a 5gal solution to fully ferment out dry at around 14%? I know I should have the right tools, I know it's a bit amateurish, I just need to get this on the go this evening so a rough guess would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
