Today I made 6 gallons of Rads All Bran recipe. It smelled really good. I am not very good at reading the Hydrometer yet but it all seems okay.

:ebiggrin: What can I expect to produce with 1.64 reading? I just checked on it, slowly bubbling away and a nice 85 degrees. :lol: :D

Check with the sites calculators:

The gravity is 1.064, not 1.64, the zero is implied. A 1.064 down to (as a guess) 0.992 is about 9.2% ABV.
