Rack to secondary. OG was 1.071 and FG was 1.012, so ABV is 7.7%. Much milder and thinner than the first Tripel I brewed, but that is a good thing. My first batch didn’t have enough yeast I think. There was a bit more notice on the hops compared to last time. Again, maybe a good thing since the sweetness from last time dominated everything. I’ll leave it in the secondary for a couple months or so.

41*.67 = 28

or
41*.71=29
41-29 = 1.012
I think what you are looking for is how to estimate what gravity your beer will end fermentation at, which is your final gravity. To do this you need to know the avg attenuation of the yeast you are using.
Example:
If your OG is 1.054
Your avg atten of your yeast is 75% (example – all are different)
54 * 0.75 = 40
54 – 40 = 14
Your FG Estimate will be 1.014
This can all be influenced based on how fermentable the sugars in the wort are and what temps you mash at, the vigor of your boil, etc.
Racked the beer to secondary and was given hope from the hydrometer taste test. Very earthy but a bit more characteristic of an IPA. Nothing like the citrusy taste of its American versions. We’ll see how it matures over the next month or so prior to bottling. I’ve been told this beer changes on you the older it gets. Hydrometer reading was still 1.014. This would be about 6.1% abv.
Racked to secondary @ 1.010.
With an OG of 1.081 and a final of 1.020, ABV = 8.1%
Alcohol smell and mouth feel, earthy/malty taste.
