What % is my beer?

[dorset brewer]

so my beer has now been sitting in the pressure barrel for 7 days, and tastes good but is still very cloudy. And now knowing nothing about how percentage in bee works i was wondering what percentage it would be ?

Kit i used was the Woodforde's Wherry best bitter and says 4.5%. How accurate is that ? i use the hydrometer to measure this?

You need to take a reading just before youadd your yeast and then another reading when you bottle/keg, then yoiu can use this calculator to work it out :)

It's usually just under 4% going by my own and others readings, I doubt you'll be near 4.5%. Tis a nice brew if you like the taste though :thumb:
