The Brewer's Recipe Calculator

The calculator provided by the link at the right will allow you to enter all of your recipe's ingredients into a simple 2 page form to print and take to the brewery.  It will calculate your predicted original and final gravities as well as your hops bitterness levels based upon beer gravity and hops utilization.  It also helps you determine how much water you need for your particular brew based upon system losses, grain absorption, etc...

Hops Tables and Equations Brewhouse Actuals Worksheet

The link at the left will bring up a worksheet that you can take to the brewery.  It will allow you to record all of the actual data from your current brew session.  You can keep the sheet for your records or use the information when you update your recipe session in your favorite brewing software.  This should print on a single sheet if you use 1/2" margins.

Hops

Hops have several uses in beer. They not only contribute a bitter flavor to your brew to counteract the malt sweetness, but they also give the beer a pleasing aroma. Their most intriguing feature, however, is their ability to act as a preservative. The Hops page provided by the link to the right contains beer style specific bitterness levels and a hops cross-reference list.

When attempting to duplicate the water profile of a particular brewing area, it is helpful to know which water modification salts will provide the appropriate results. The calculator provided by the link at left will allow you to enter your source and target profiles and to tweak your source water ion concentrations by adding grams of various brewing salts.

Yeast Statistics Calculator

There are several varieties of yeast and they can contribute many different flavor characteristics to the particular beer style you are brewing. In order to duplicate a specific style, the Brewmaster must know what type of yeast to use. The Yeast Statistics Calculator contains information about many different strains of yeast that are available.

Hydrometer Calculator Hydrometer Calculator

The calculator provided by the link on the left will allow you to adjust your specific gravity reading to compensate for temperature variations.  Believe it or not, the density of a liquid changes based upon what its temperature might be. Taking this information into account will guarantee you get the correct reading when you are determining alcohol content.

Beer Statistics Calculator

The calculator provided by the link at the right will determine the alcohol content, calories, and carbohydrates of the beer you have just made. You only need to supply the original and final gravities of your brew.

This section contains a table listing the beer style specifications as determined by the Beer Judge Certification Program Style Committee.

Carbonation Table

It is helpful to know what pressure to apply to kegged beer during forced carbonation in order to obtain an appropriate carbonation level for a specific temperature. This information can insure that you have carbonated your beer to the proper level for its specific style guidelines.  The link to the right opens a table that shows the appropriate values.  Simply choose your beer's temperature and select the appropriate volumes of CO2 required and where they cross on the chart is the pressure at which you must keep your beer for a week or so.
