If these measurements are all related to the same thing, than why do we use all three different terms in measuring what is ultimately going to be the final alcohol content?
How are they different, and what can they TELL us differently?
Seth brought this up and I think it is a good question.
When I start a wine, I measure the SG and the PA I can expect out of it if it ferments out. But I use the SG to measure the progress, but can just as easily look on the other side of the hydrometer, see the PA, do the math and come up with the same numbers.
Anyone?
