Gravity Points

A simplified way to express specific gravity by dropping the leading '1.0' — a wort at 1.048 has 48 gravity points. Gravity points simplify recipe calculations, especially when scaling batch sizes or comparing malt extract potential. One pound of typical pale malt contributes roughly 36-37 points per gallon.
