Estimates the temperature your strike water needs to be in order to hit the desired mash-in temperature. Please note that the calculator assumes that no heat will be lost to the surroundings. You can minimize this error by pre-heating the tun. Based on Palmer, in How to Brew.
Estimates your ABV based on your OG and SG/FG. Inspired by brewtoad, but with the alternative ABV formula.
Estimates the amount of hot/boiling water you need to add to hit your next mash/rest temperature. Please note that the calculator assumes that no heat will be lost to the surroundings. Based on Palmer, in How to Brew.
Estimates the time it takes to heat water. Please note that the calculator assumes that no heat will be lost to the surroundings.
Calculates the amount of water you need to add to get your wort to a desired gravity.
Calculates the final gravity you get when adding x amount of water to your wort.
Calculates the volume of your grains and strike water so you can check if your tun is large enough.
Helps you adjust the amount of hops if the alpha acid differs between the receipe and your actual hops.
Estimates the loss of alpha acid when you store hops. Based on MoreBeer Brewing Techniques.
Enter your hops schedule, click start and we will notify you (by sound) when you need to add hops to your boil and when the boil has finished.
Estimates how much priming sugar (Corn Sugar, Table Sugar or DME) to add for carbonation when bottling homebrewed beer. Based on braukaiser.com.

Calculates the volume of your brew tun/kettle.
When measuring specific gravity using a hydrometer you need to correct for the temperature of the liquid. Based on brewtoad.
When using a refractometer to read the gravity of an alcoholic liquid, an adjustment is required on the reading to get correct results. Based on SeanTerrill.com and the alternative ABV formula.
Brix to Gravity conversion is an approximation. Based on byo.
Convert between common weight units for brewing.
