BEER AND WINE ABV calculator for beer and wine ABV calculator for homebrewers and winemakers: alcohol from gravity (OG/FG), IBU bitterness, priming sugar, must sweetening, sulphiting, acidity. DISTILLATION Alcohol dilution calculator Alcohol dilution calculator: how much water to add to spirit for 40%, blending two spirits and making vodka from rectified spirit, with contraction. DISTILLATION Alcoholmeter temperature correction An alcoholmeter is wrong away from 20 °C. The calculator converts the reading into true strength using standard alcoholometric tables. Also corrects °Blg. DISTILLATION BLG calculator Calculate the °Blg of a wash from sugar and water and plan a wash for a target concentration: how much sugar, water and alcohol you will get. DISTILLATION Blg to Brix, Oechsle, KMW and °NM converter Blg, Plato and Brix are the same scale - Oechsle, KMW, °NM and Baumé convert in a second. A free sugar scale calculator with formulas and a table. SMOKING Curing salt calculator Dry curing: about 24 g of nitrite curing salt per 1 kg of meat; for brine 8-12% (about 80-120 g per litre). Table for 1-5 l and a curing time calculator. DISTILLATION Distillation calculator 16 free distillation calculators: BLG and wash, yield from sugar, dilution, alcoholmeter correction, heating element power and cost. Live results. DISTILLATION Distillation cost What does a litre of home-made spirit cost? The calculator shows the energy cost of distillation and the full production cost (sugar, yeast, electricity). DISTILLATION Ethanol boiling point vs pressure What is the boiling point of ethanol at your pressure? A calculator based on the Antoine equation gives the exact figure for your atmospheric pressure. LIQUEURS Fruit liqueur calculator Free fruit liqueur calculator: liqueur strength, diluting spirit for steeping fruit, sugar syrup and honey instead of sugar. Live results, no sign-up. DISTILLATION Heating element power and distillation column operating power calculator Calculate heating element power (P=U²/R) and the safe operating power of a column; match the power to the column diameter so it does not flood. DISTILLATION How much packing for a column + heat-up time Work out how many wire springs your column packing needs and how long the charge takes to reach the boil. Column calculators with an exact time formula. DISTILLATION How much spirit from 1 kg of sugar How much spirit from 1, 5 or 10 kg of sugar and from a litre of wash? The free calculator works out pure alcohol and 40-60% distillate from the chemistry.

Free online calculators for distillation and home smoking - they calculate live, with no sign-up and nothing to install. Choose a set of tools below: distilling calculators (wash, diluting spirit, column power, costs), the fruit liqueur calculator (strength, syrup, steeping spirit) or the curing salt calculator (curing, brine, processing times). Every tool comes with the formulas it uses, and you can put the results straight to work with a WiFi controller or thermometer.

Dedicated calculators with a fuller explanation:

ABV calculator for beer and wine

ABV calculator for beer and wine - IBU, priming sugar, SO₂ →

Calculate alcohol from gravity (OG/FG), IBU bitterness with the Tinseth method, priming sugar allowing for residual CO₂, must sweetening, the metabisulphite dose and wine acidity adjustment.

Fruit liqueur calculator

Fruit liqueur calculator - liqueur strength, sugar syrup and steeping spirit →

Work out the alcohol percentage of a liqueur (allowing for fruit juice and sugar volume), adjust the strength of the finished drink, convert syrup and honey instead of sugar, and get the spirit-to-water ratio for 60-70% steeping spirit.

Curing salt calculator

Curing salt calculator - dry cure, brine, spices and processing times →

Calculate the amount of curing salt and spices for the weight of meat, the brine strength and approximate times for curing, drying, smoking and poaching. New: a universal brine % (pickles, fish, cheese) and equilibrium curing (EQ) with a nitrite check against the EU limit.
