composition of different german beers 1885

Want some numbers?

In the Meyers Konversationslexikon form 1885 there is a table in the entry on "Bier":

Zusammensetzung verschiedener Biere

abv, fg, og and apparent attenuation are estimated from the data, if you know how to calculate them more accurately please comment.

I hope these numbers are more reliable than the numbers in some other publications of the time which sometimes sound like "I bought some bottles and analyzed them, next time I should try to get fresh ones".
I like the wide range in Attenuation: in Munich you could get attenuations ranging  from 52 to 70%.
Sadly there is no data on Gose, at least some Berliner Weiße.
