Adjust Gravity Tool

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Adjust Gravity Tool can be used by brewers who have missed their target original gravity and wish to add dry or liquid malt extract to bring their gravity up to a higher value before fermenting.  It is used to raise your original gravity.

How to Use the Adjust Gravity Tool

oSelect the Adjust Gravity tool from the Tools menu
oEnter the measured original gravity and volume for your wort
oEnter your target gravity and select the addition type (dry or liquid malt extract)
oIf your target gravity is higher than the measured value, the tool will calculate the amount of extract to add.  If it is lower, the amount of water to use to dilute your wort will instead be displayed.
