Mead Calculator
Plan honey additions from target ABV and batch size, then verify estimated ABV from real OG/FG readings after fermentation.
Honey needed
14.29 lb honey
6.48 kg honey
Estimated ABV from measured OG/FG
11.16%
Assumptions and formula
This page uses 35 gravity points per pound per gallon (PPG) as a practical average for honey. Required honey is:((target OG − 1) × 1000 × gallons) ÷ 35.
Estimated ABV is computed from measured OG and FG with(OG − FG) × 131.25.
Gallon-by-gallon honey weights at common target ABVs are on thehow much honey for mead guide. That page uses this same PPG formula. If you do not have a hydrometer reading, readABV without a hydrometer before treating a recipe estimate as a measurement.
