Brewery Planning Calculators
Packaging Cost Estimator
AccuBrew’s Packaging Cost calculator helps you estimate the cost of packaging your product’s. The calculator estimates the labor and materials, and the total cost per can, case, and case equivalent, and the totals.
Monthly Production Reports Workbook
This workbook was created to help brewery managers document production to comply with regulators and estimate State of Florida and Federal Excise taxes.
Case Equivalent Calculator
The Case Equivalent (CE) converter helps managers convert packaged items and kegs of various sizes, or barrels, to Case Equivalents. Breweries and distributors use CE numbers to set sales goals.
Brewery In-Planning Calculator
The Brewery In-Planning calculator was created to plan new breweries and help existing breweries plan ahead. The calculator also illustrates the savings and solid ROI provided by the AccuBrew Fermentation Monitoring system.
Fermentation Days & bbl per Year Estimator
The calculator estimates the total number of fermentation days and maximum number of bbl/year a brewery can produce based on the percentage of ales to lagers produced, the average time to ferment each type of beer, the total fermentation vessel capacity of the brewery, and the number of fermentation cycles/year.

Taproom & Tasting Room Calculators
Alternate Pour Calculator
The AccuBrew Alternate Pour Price calculator was created while working in a Taproom to calculate the price of smaller pour sizes based on the original pour size and price.
Growler Price Cheat Sheet
The Growler Price calculator was designed to create cheat sheets to quickly set growler prices using the original serving size and price per serving as a starting point.
Guest Keg Max Cost and Profit Calculator
The AccuBrew Guest Keg calculator is used to create cheat sheets to quickly know when a guest keg is priced too high to make your margin when speaking with distributors’ sales reps.
Retail Price & Profit Calculator
The AccuBrew Retail Price & Profit calculator helps make sure every item in your Tasting Room or Gift Shop is priced to make its margin.
Taproom Price & Profit Calculator
The Case Price & Profit calculator helps tasting room managers make sure every packaged item makes its margin. The calculator is preloaded to calculate the price & profit of a case of wine.
AB Guest Tap Price & Profit Calculator
This AccuBrew Guest Tap calculator was created to help tasting room managers make sure every guest tap makes its margin based on keg cost and size, ounces per serving, and margin or markup.
Interpreting The Data
The Specific Gravity Profile is a visible record of the SG measurements taken during fermentation. As fermentation progresses, the SG profile trends downward over time. Brewers will use the SG profile along with the Fermentation Activity and Clarity profiles to confirm fermentation is progressing as expected, or is in danger of stalling, and to decide when to initiate rests or make additions. The SG profile will appear relatively smooth.
The Clarity Profile is a relative record of the number of particles in front of the sensor. Peaks indicate higher concentrations of particulates in front of the detector window. Valleys indicate lower concentrations as yeast, hop particles, and other solids introduced by the addition of cocoa nibs, etc. drop out of suspension and clarity improves. Striations in the wort may also create peaks and valleys as they pass in front of the sensor. The Clarity Profile trends down over time as particles drop out of suspension. The Clarity Profile will also appear more dynamic than the SG Profile.
The Fermentation Activity Profile is a relative record of the total sugars in solution, both fermentable and non-fermentable. Sugars absorb blue light. As fermentation proceeds, the amount of blue light returning to the sensor increases as the amount of all sugars in the tank decreases and less blue light is absorbed. The Fermentation Activity Profile trends downward over time as fermentation progresses. The Fermentation Activity Profile will appear much more dynamic than the SG Profile.
The Temperature Profile is an absolute record of the temperature recorded by the sensor. After the temperature stabilizes, the temperature graph will take on a sawtooth pattern as it records the normal temperature fluctuations in the tank as the glycol system cycles on and off.
