German Nico Marquardt calculated Apophis impact probability to 1/450 while NASA estimated it to be 1/45.000. Current understanding is that Nico Marquardt’s calculation is not valid and this whole story [...]... | | By: Homeboy's Astro Blog | | |

| Brix Scale Calculations | | 2008-01-21 23:01:00 | | In beer making you usually hear of Original Gravities being 1.0 something and some winemakers will do the same. More common in winemaking is the Brix Scale. So, what is the Brix scale and why should I know it. Basically, it measures the sugar content of your juice and knowing that you can get an idea of how much alcohol your wine will produce. Here are a couple of definitions: Brix scale from Answers.com A system of measurement, given in degrees, of the amount of sugar present in grape juice. Similar systems are used in different countries, eg. the Balling, Baumé and Oechsle scales, all providing sugar content measurements that can be used to approximate the final alcohol content of wine being produced. See also must weight. Another definition from Onlineconversion.com Balling: The name of a density scale for measuring sugar content in water base solutions. Since grape juice is primarily sugar and water, the balling scale was used for a quick and easy "sugar ana... | | By: Making Homemade Wine and Beer | | |
