Brewing tool

Efficiency Calculator

Check how much of the grain potential made it into the wort you collected.

Guide

Before you start

Use the volume and gravity you actually collected. The default potential of 36 PPG is a practical all-grain starting point.

Use 36 PPG as a practical all-grain default if you do not know the exact grain potential.

Method

How this is estimated

The tool compares the gravity points collected in the wort with the potential points available from the grain bill.

efficiency ≈ actual gravity points ÷ potential points × 100

Safety and limits

A few notes

Efficiency depends on accurate volume, gravity, and grain potential. Mixed grain bills are only as accurate as the potential value you enter.

Use accurate measurements for the best estimate.
