Alcohol Estimator
GOvent: Measures Alcohol in your Fermenting Wine Measure Progress of the Fermentation. Whether the fermentation is “stuck”, complete, or progressing normally. Uses Mass Flow Gas Sensors to Measure CO2. Accurately measures total evolved CO2. Ethanol was estimated automatically in real-time from the CO2 data and is shown above. The orange line is the estimated ethanol concentration. Samples were taken and assayed daily using a Foss OenoFoss FTIR instrument. These measurements are shown as blue dots. The predicted values are within +/- 0.25 %v/v proving the utility of the GOvent estimation system. Learn more about the alcohol estimator
