I’m putting this page together to keep track of various URLs and formulas to better calculate the details of my beer homebrewing recipes. Items that I want to have better awareness of are…
- mashing and brewhouse efficiency
- wort evaporation
- hop utilizations, acid conversion, and wort absorption
- IBUs, OG and FG targeting based on recipe
- etc
Some handy URLs:

Some details for me to keep handy:
How much wort do whole leaf hops absorb?
I’ve seen pages mention 0.15 quarts/ounce
How to identify the potential SG from the “extract FG, dry basis” value, say 73%
pSG = 1 + (extract FG / 100) * 0.04621
pSG here equals 1.0337 or 1.034
