How to Calculate Beer Brewing Values
Formula
Original gravity (OG) predicts the amount of fermentable sugar available. The difference between OG and final gravity (FG) determines the alcohol content.
IBU (International Bitterness Units) measures hop bitterness. A pale ale is typically 30-50 IBU while an IPA ranges from 40-70+.
Common use cases:
- Homebrewing recipe design
- Grain bill calculation
- Hop bitterness targeting
