Calories

[irishbrew26]

Soooo don't judge, but does anyone know how to possibly calculate the calories in your brewed beer? I'm on a diet but can't keep myself from getting into the keg!!

Some brewing software estimates calories. Brewtoad used to have it, but I see they removed that function with one of the recent updates.

30 calories * abv

Here's a formula I found on the interwebs for counting calories that I use in a custom spreadsheet.

Total Calories = CalAlc + CalCarb

Calculating Calories from Alcohol
CalAlc= =1881.22*(FG)*(OG-FG)/(1.775-OG)

Calculating Calories from Carbs
CalCarb= 3550*(FG)*((0.1808*OG)+(0.8192*FG)-1.0004

Not sure how accurate it is, but I have used this one in the past.

I use brewpal on my iphone and it calculates the calories per pint but I haven't exactly tested those numbers.

Eh? Where in the world is this feature on 2.2?

When you have a recipe open, look at the fermentation tab, and at the bottom right it is calculated with the estimated and actual in the list along with ABV/ABW calculations. Oh, and it also shows up as a calculation when you have the alcohol and attenuation tool open. This is with 2.2.
