[narrator] to calculate
individual proof gallons
00:00:03.769 --> 00:00:07.505
each bucket is weighed
and the alcohol content
is measured
00:00:07.507 --> 00:00:09.373
using a hydrometer.
00:00:09.375 --> 00:00:11.909
The weight of each bucket
is then multiplied
00:00:11.911 --> 00:00:14.311
by the percent of alcohol
by volume.
00:00:14.313 --> 00:00:19.998
This number is then
multiplied by two
and divided by 100.
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:24.388
A complicated equation
not usually attempted
by shiners in the backwoods.
00:00:24.724 --> 00:00:26.724
[eric] this is ordovich.
00:00:26.726 --> 00:00:28.626
