BREWGOD
Home brewing guides, beer recipes, and the calculators behind every great batch.
From measuring your ABV and hop bitterness to priming for perfect carbonation, nailing your mash temperature, predicting your beer's colour, and converting Brix to gravity, BrewGod pairs free hands-on brewing calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Brew smarter, pour better.
Brewing Tools & Calculators
Free calculators for every batch — ABV calculator, IBU calculator, priming sugar calculator, strike water calculator, SRM color calculator, and Brix to gravity converter.
ABV Calculator
Turn your original and final gravity into alcohol by volume and apparent attenuation — the two numbers that tell you how strong your beer is and how far the yeast fermented
IBU Calculator
Estimate hop bitterness in IBU with the Tinseth method — add each hop's weight, alpha acid, and boil time alongside your batch volume and wort gravity for the total
Priming Sugar Calculator
Work out the exact grams of corn or table sugar to prime with — enter your beer volume, target carbonation, and temperature for perfect bottle conditioning every time
Strike Water Calculator
Find the strike water temperature and volume to hit your mash rest first time — from your grain weight, grain temperature, target mash temp, and water-to-grain ratio
SRM Color Calculator
Predict your beer's colour in SRM from the grain bill using the Morey equation — add each malt's weight and Lovibond with your batch volume to see the shade and a preview
Brix to Gravity Calculator
Convert refractometer °Brix readings to specific gravity and back — keep your hydrometer and refractometer measurements in step across every wort reading
Brewing Reference Tables
Strength and attenuation by gravity, IBUs by boil time and wort gravity, priming sugar by temperature, colour by dark malt, and strike water by mash ratio — computed from the BrewGod calculators
Beer & Brewing Museum
Wander an immersive museum of beer and brewing — the great styles from IPA to stout, the ingredients of barley, hops, malt, and yeast, the equipment that turns grain into beer, and the glassware and culture that celebrate it, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the world of beer: how each style came to be, what makes it distinct, and the craft behind every pint.

Fresh guides on home brewing and beer recipes, brewing techniques, ingredients and equipment, and beer styles, plus practical tips for brewing better beer on every batch.
What Brewing Calculators Cannot See
Homebrew calculators are good at arithmetic and blind to almost everything else. Knowing which of their assumptions your brew day breaks is what makes them…
The Six Numbers in Every Recipe
A recipe is six numbers. Working them out in the right order, before brew day, is most of what separates a batch that lands where you intended from one that…
The Cost of Brewing Equipment: What to Expect
In today’s ever-evolving landscape, understanding cost of brewing equipment: what to expect has become more important than ever. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone looking to refine your…
Refractometer or Hydrometer: Which to Trust When
Refractometers and hydrometers both measure sugar in wort, on different scales and by different physics. Knowing which to trust when is worth more than…
Hitting Your Mash Temperature First Time
The mash is the one step where a few degrees changes the character of the finished beer, and hitting the temperature is a matter of arithmetic done before…
How Little Dark Malt It Takes to Change a Beer's Colour
Beer colour looks like the most subjective thing in a recipe and is in fact one of the most predictable. A small amount of dark malt does almost all of the…
