I recently brewed two different Belgian ales. The first was a Belgian pale ale with a starting gravity of 1.061. The second was a Belgian Strong Blond with a starting gravity of 1.070.
Belgian pale ale: OG=1.061, FG=1.007, Apparent Attenuation=87.9%, 7.1% ABV.
Belgian strong blond: OG=1.070, FG=1.008, Apparent Attenuation=87.9%, 8.2% ABV.
Note the percent apparent attenuation was identical on both.
I used BeerSmith app’s “Alcohol and Attenuation” tool to calculate these results.
