The Grain & Grape Hop Calculator.



Note: you may need to click the gold bar at the top of the browser window to allow blocked content. If you don't see the calculator above this line after a few seconds, you may need to go here to intall the latest version of the free flash player. It only takes a short while.

To find the correct weight of hops to use for your brew:
Select either pellets or cones then be sure that all of the boxes have the right information for your brew. Litres of water is the amount you expect to end up with in your fermenter. You only need to change the "Gravity of Wort" box if the gravity of your beer is going to have a specific gravity of 1050 or more during the boil. If it will be less that 1050, have the box show "1050". Just click on "Press to Calculate" and that's it.

For further information relevant to using this calculator, see our article on hop bitterness calculations. If you have any questions or troubles with the calculator please e-mail us.
