What is My ABV? How to Calculate Alcohol Content in Mead, Wine, Cider and Beer. Just how accurate can we get? There are a few different calculations for ABV or alcohol by volume, all have their place, and all have drawbacks. One thing to remember is that in homebrewing mead, wine, cider and beer, we're not going to be truly accurate. Hydrometers have a range of reading that lends itself to inaccuracy. The calculations are all approximations. The only way to know what the ABV of your brew is is by sending out to a lab. Hardly reasonable for homebrewing!
Here is the link to that online calculator that I use as a check:
