Beer Guideline Definitions

OG: Original gravity. A measure of the density of the beer before fermentation. By definition, water has a gravity of 1. Wort ABV will be higher due to dissolved sugars.

FG: Final Gravity. A measure of the density of the beer after fermentation. Together with the OG is used to calculate ABV. Pure alcohol has a gravity of .79.

ABV: Alcohol by volume. A measure of the percentage of alcohol in the beer. Beers can range from 3-20% or higher.

IBU: International bittering units. A measure of how bitter the beer is due to the presence of alpha acids from hops.

SRM: Standard reference method. A measure of the color of the beer. 4 is very light, 13 is amber, and 70 is very dark.
