I am usually good about measuring my wine using the hydrometer before adding the yeast but i haven't done it in about a year. So... I forgot to measure it. I added about 12 pounds of sugar to some black berry wine concentrate as per the directions on the can it came with. It's a 5 gallon batch. It's been fermenting for about 5 - 6 days now and the specific gravity is 1.010 right now. The refractometer reads 9%. I know the refractometer reads sugar content. So is there a way I can tell what my alcohol content is at right now? I don't want it to go over 13% alcohol content and hope it hasn't done that already. I know there is write ups on on how to calculate the content but i am terrible at math but i love me some wine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
