Beer costs and brewery costs:


You want to make money with a microbrewery, be an entrepreneur? Then you want to know what your profit prospects are.
We have developed a simple spreadsheet for your brewing calculaitons with which you can easily estimate the profit prospects of your brewery project. Obviously some simplifications are used but we guarantee that you will get a feeeling of which parameters or costs need to be adjusted in order to make a profit with your project.

Brewing calculations and brewing engineering,

This malt gives better yield…how much water and malt do I need now for my recipe? I want to put in two fermenters plus….. will my cooling capacity be enough? I was offered a beer cooler at a good price….. is it the right size? I want to put a tank for the CIP…. how many liters of detergent do I need to clean my equipment?

The answers to these questions and many more can be found in our calculation tools, otherwise please contact us so we can help.

brewing calculations

Basic brewing calculations:

Brewery calculations needed to size and calculate individual processes or machines (including calculations seen in the courses).

Component and energy calculations:

This calculation tool allows you to calculate volume, diameter and flow velocity in pipelines, reference list of maximum flow velocities, liquid mixing crossover, dimension heat exchangers for cooling and heating, as well as calculate the required amount of cooling, steam and compressed air of a brewery as well as the CO2 production in the fermentation process. A detailed description of these calculations can be found in the free instruction section.
A detailed description of the contents of this toolkit can be found here.

Brewing calculations of the brewing process:

With this tool you can calculate different variables of the brewing process such as calculation of:  the amount of mash water depending on the concentration of the first wort and the amount of grain, the total mash volume and water temperature, the amount of mash to be removed in a decoction process, the apparent degree of fermentation of a wort, the evaporation rate, the brewhouse yield, the amount of hops required for the desired IBU, the amount of extract required in the mash to reach the desired Co2 concentration and the required back pressure, among others. The importance and application of these calculations are explained in detail in our courses. For more details click here.

Complex brewery calculations:

With these tools you can perform complex calculations to size or design sections or complete breweries, check or calculate processes.

This package includes the basic brewery calculation package.

Complete brewhouse design and brewing calculations:

With this tool a complete brewhouse can be designed. Vessels, piping and heat exchangers are dimensioned and claculated depending on the base recipe.  You can also simulate changes in the recipe with its installed equipment to know in advance possible problems that may occur during the process.
A detailed description of the contents of this tool can be found here.

Note: Our brewing calculations are based on average equipment values. If important decisions are required it is essential that an experienced person checks if the calculations apply to the individual case.
