The Scandinavian Beer Calculator

This Beer Calculator is an integrated part of the educational program for the international students at The Scandinavian School of Brewing in Copenhagen (see below).

The Beer Calculator is an on-line program allowing calculation of a composition of beer or wine based upon only two inputs and generally following the prescription of the European Brewing Convention (EBC).

Further technical details are explained in "Instruction" found in "Main menu".

About former works

The present version of The Scandinavian Beer Calculator is based upon the fundamental idea of the AJL Beer Nomogrames designed in the period 1965 to 1975 at Alfred Jørgensen Laboratory Ltd in Copenhagen. The designer was Mogens Søltoft, and the idea was to deduct the full beer composition from any two figures involved, e.g. OE%P =12 and RDF% = 70. In the AJL Beer Nomogrames the remaining figures were found by drawing a straight line through the two known figures and subsequent reading the values from several crossing lines.

As computer software The Scandinavian Beer Calculator is a successor to The Tablebuster Beer Calculator, which was made in 2003 by Henryk Lloyd Krasuski, Jens Friholm Nielsen, Frederik Foged Nielsen and Henning Nielsen.

The formulas used for the calculations made by The Scandinavian Beer Calculator are mainly prescribed by the European Brewery Convention (EBC).
