Mash CalculatorsUse these handy javascript calculators to help with mashing calculations! The calculators require the use of Firefox, or Netscape 3.0 or better, or Internet Explorer 3.0 or better. Note that period (.), not comma (,), is used to separate decimals of a number. If you use a comma the decimals will be ignored. Note the function of these buttons which you will also find below:
Mash Tun Heat Capacity CalculatorCalculate the volume of water which has a heat capacity equal to that of your mash tun. To do this you need to give input numbers from an experiment carried out beforehand. In the experiment you poured a known volume of hot water with known temperature into your mash tun, let the time go until the temperature stabilized, and finally measured the stabilized temperature. The mash tun equivalent water volume is used in the strike temperature calculator and in the rest calculator.
Strike Temperature CalculatorCalculate the temperature your strike water needs to be in order to hit the desired mash-in temperature.
Rest CalculatorCalculate the amount of boiling water you need to raise your mash to the next rest temperature.
Mash Tun Volume CalculatorFind out if your mash tun is big enough to hold your grain bill plus the strike water. Note! This calculator does not take the space under your false bottom into account!
Water CalculatorFind out how much sparge water is needed to give a certain volume of wort after boiling.

These calculators should work as advertised, but use them at your own risk. Please report bugs and suggest improvements to Steen Christensen. Some of the calculators were modified from Green Bay Rackers, who took the formulae from Ken Schwartz's Calculations for All-Grain Brewers.
