First hydrometer reading

[Big B]

Hi
Just finished knocking my first kit.
Am I correct this is a 1061 reading?

Would this mean I am on target for the 7.5abv quoted on the box.

Thanks

B.

Looks good. Original gravity minus final gravity and then multiply by 131.25. (OG-FG)X131.25=ABV

Your sample needs to be close to, usually, 20 celcius because that's what your hydrometer is standardised to. A couple of degrees either side is near enough to not make a measurable difference.
