| specific gravity |
A measure of the density of a liquid or solid, as compared with that of water. Brewers use gravity to measure the fermentation's progress -- the more fermentable sugars, the higher the gravity; the more alcohol, the lower the gravity.

| specific gravity |
The weight per volume of a material compared to water. This determines whether a material sinks or floats. Less than 1.0, the material will float. Greater than 1.0, the material will sink.

| specific gravity |
The ratio of weight of a substance at a given temperature to the weight of the same volume of another substance at a given temperature. For liquids, the comparison is to water; for gases, the comparison is to air.
