Water Calculator Brewing

\n

Calculate the precise amount of brewing water needed for your beer recipes, factoring in grain absorption, boil-off, and sparge requirements.

\n\n

\n \n \n Target volume in the fermenter.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n How much water evaporates during the boil.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n Duration of the rolling boil.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n Water absorbed by the grains during mash.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n Total weight of grains used in the mash.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n How efficiently sugars are extracted from grains.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n Additional water used for sparging/rinsing grains.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n Water left in kettle, hoses, and chiller.\n

\n\n \n \n\n

\n

\n Total Water Required: 37.0 L\n

Brewing Water Breakdown:

\n

    \n

  • Pre-boil Volume: 32.0 L

    • \n

  • Boil-off Loss: 6.0 L

    • \n

  • Mash Water: 9.0 L

    • \n

  • Sparge Water: 10.0 L

    • \n

  • Dead Space Loss: 1.0 L

    • \n

\n

Calculation Logic: The total water needed is determined by the batch size plus losses (boil-off, dead space) and absorption by grains, adjusted for mash efficiency and sparge requirements.
