Attenuation (brewing) Attenuation (brewing) In brewing, attenuation is the percentage that measures the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the fermentation process; a more attenuated beer will generally be drier and more alcoholic than a less attenuated beer made from the same wort. The percentage is calculated by comparing weight or specific gravity of the extract before and after fermentation. the following iteration,Attenuation = 100 % * (starting gravity − current gravity) / (starting gravity − 1) is meaningless This formula works with extract given in weight percentages or degree Plato. Extract refers to all the non water substances
Flint Brewing Company Building a group of Methodists purchased the building and turned it into the Lakeside Methodist Episcopal Church, as a way of demonstrating religion's victory over alcohol. Within a few years the church moved out, and a trucking firm began using the building as warehouse space. By the mid-1920s, the Acetylene Welding Company and the Boyd Sign Factory were also using the building, and in 1928 the Flint Casket and Woodwork Company moved in. In the early 1930s, Genesee County repealed its prohibition ordinance, and in 1933 the Flint Hill Brewing Company purchased the building and refitted it to restart brewing beer.
