It's usually rounded down by 1ยบ.

The rounding error on 260hl between 1.0586 and 1.059 becomes a significant amount of extra tax, it's worth being accurate...qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-69909780544537368802019-01-03T03:37:26.576-08:002019-01-03T03:37:26.576-08:00Kevin,

So he must have been talking about the export version of ESB, which is the only one of their beers which has that OG. <br /><br />UK brewers never use Plato. Fullers only went over to using SG fairly recently. Until at least 1968 they measured gravity in brewer's pounds.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-80224222596386274692019-01-02T09:25:04.159-08:002019-01-02T09:25:04.159-08:00I've got a question not directly related to to...I've got a question not directly related to today's recipe but it did come while listening to an interview with Fuller's John Keeling... he was describing the gravity of one of their beers and and was saying the starting gravity was "58 point 6" and the finishing gravity was something like "8 point 8". <br /><br />That's obviously not Plato because that would would be a SG of 1.283! So is he saying that the SG is 1.0586? Also, I assume that 58.6 could be rounded up to 1.059? <br /><br />Sorry if I'm asking something elementary and dumb but I've never heard gravity stated that way.<br /><br />ThanksKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469009018534458578noreply@blogger.com
