Howdy,

If there are any homebrewers wondering: Here is the formula for determining how many calories are in an ounce of your beer.

Calories per ounce = ( (1881.22 * x) * (y - x) / (1.775 - y) ) + ( 3550 * x* ( (0.1808 * y) + (0.8192 * x) - 1.004) )

WHERE x= Final Gravity AND y = Original Gravity

Cheers!

    That is fantastic. Do you think it would apply to homemade wine?
