While performing a fermentation experiment using seaweed hydrolysate. I obtained an ethanol concentration of 0.6%, however I am uncertain of how much it is in g/L. I am really looking forward to your response and I really apologize if my question is too simple but I honestly don't know.

A concentration of 0.6% (v/v) means that you have 0.6 ml ethanol in 100 ml solution, or 6 ml ethanol in 1000 ml solution (6 ml/L).
Ethanol density at 20 deg.C is 0.7893 g/ml.
6 ml ethanol weigh 6 x 0.7893 g, that is 4.73 g.
A concentration of 0.6% means 4.73 g ethanol/liter.
