Session pale ale

1.048 OG down to 1.010 FG

A lighter-strength batch where a clean finish keeps the ABV modest but still clearly above a lawnmower lager.

Result: A crisp everyday-strength beer with healthy attenuation and a straightforward hydrometer story.

Classic IPA

1.062 OG down to 1.014 FG

A common homebrew-strength target where attenuation and ABV both land in a familiar craft-beer range.

Result: A standard-strength ale where the gravity drop translates to a solid mid-6% ABV result.

Big stout finish

1.090 OG down to 1.018 FG

A higher-gravity batch that still leaves more body behind, so the apparent attenuation matters as much as the ABV headline.

Result: The alcohol climbs quickly, but the fuller finish still shows up clearly in the attenuation result.
