Calculator Use
The Excel CONVERT function converts a number in one measurement system to another. For example, you can use CONVERT to convert feet into meters, pounds into kilograms, Fahrenheit to Celsius, gallons into liters, and for many other unit conversions.
This online conversion calculator will convert among different units of weight or mass. For more specific calculations use avoirdupois unit conversions and troy unit conversions.
How to Convert Units of Weight
If you choose this option, make sure you purchase a scale with a significant weight capacity so that it can accommodate a keg. Full ½ barrel kegs are 15.5 gallons (approximately 160 pounds), so we recommend buying a keg scale with a capacity of at least 200 pounds. Bar-i uses a keg.

Gallons / 18.9 Litres. 53 beers (12oz). 40 pints (16oz). Office suite for mac. To simply convert from any unit into grams, for example, from 5 kilograms, just multiply by the conversion value in the right column in the table below. 5 kg. 1000 (g ) / (kg) = 5000 g To convert from g into units in the left column divide by the value in the right column or, multiply by the reciprocal, 1/x.
Conversions are performed by using a conversion factor. Platinum play casino app. By knowing the conversion factor, converting between units can become a simple multiplication problem:
S * C = E
Where S is our starting value, C is our conversion factor, and E is our end converted result. Elsword ed hack download.
To simply convert from any unit into grams, for example, from 5 kilograms, just multiply by the conversion value in the right column in the table below.
5 kg * 1000 [ (g) / (kg) ] = 5000 g
To convert from g into units in the left column divide by the value in the right column or, multiply by the reciprocal, 1/x.
5000 g / 1000 [ (g) / (kg) ] = 5 kg
To convert among any units in the left column, say from A to B, you can multiply by the factor for A to convert A into grams then divide by the factor for B to convert out of grams. Or, you can find the single factor you need by dividing the A factor by the B factor.
For example, to convert from kilograms to pounds you would multiply by 1000 then divide by 453.59237. Or, multiply by 1000/453.59237 = 2.204622. So, to convert directly from kg to lb, you multiply by 2.204622.

The purpose of this guide is to clarify what kind of wort gravity and batch sizes you can expect to accomplish with certain vessel sizes.
First we'll look at traditional 3 vessel brewing and then get to Brew In a Bag.
In a multi vessel system, the batch size is first limited by the boil kettle size. Aside from using an inefficient partial boil technique, all grain wort must be boiled down to final volume. 5 gallon batches generally start out as 6.5 to 7 gallon preboil worts and require at least a gallon of headspace (7.5 to 8 gallons of kettle space minimum). For a 10 gallon batch, a 15 gallon kettle is practical.
More importantly, the standalone mash tun size is what will determine the maximum gravity you can achieve for a given batch size. To best explain this, we've created a chart.
Just for example, a 10 gallon mash tun can do 5 gallons of 1.118 barleywine (~11% ABV) and 10 gallon batches of 1.060 IPA (~6% ABV). New all grain brewers will probably wonder why the chart has different efficiency examples like 70% and 80%. To be clear, the sugar production and extraction is technique and process dependent so you never really know what your efficiency will be until you brew a while and track it.
Combining the kettle boil requirements and mash tun data, you can make some decisions. 5 gallon batches can make use of a minimum of 8 gallon boil kettle and 5 or 10 gallon mash tun. 10 gallon batches (up to 1.088 OG) will need a 15 gallon kettle and 10 gallon mash tun.
Brew In A Bag is taking a brewing community by storm and even the old timers are starting to relax their grip on traditional three vessel all grain brewing techniques. BIAB has several advantages such as less cleaning, less liquid transfer, less equipment, more stable pH throughout the brew and generally a faster brew day. The downsides are minor and probably the most important one is the upper limit of wort gravity given certain kettle sizes. Of course it's only a downside if you already own a certain size kettle and don't want to replace it.
BIAB is typically done as a full volume mash with no sparging which means when the grain bag is removed, you are left with enough wort to begin boiling down to the finished batch size immediately. This makes the total kettle size important. The chart below shows the max gravity you can achieve per batch and kettle size assuming a no sparge process.
| Batch Size | Kettle Size (gallons) | Max Grain Weight (LBS) | Max Gravity at 70% efficiency | 5
| 10 | 22 | 1.106 | | 5 | 15 | 50 | 1.220 | | 10 | 15 | 22 | 1.077 | | 15 | 20 | 25 | 1.058 | | 15 | 25 | 50 | 1.116 |
As you can see, by contrast BIAB will require a larger kettle than multi-vessel brewing all else being equal.
The good news is that there is an easy trick to getting a little more gravity out of a given system by performing a small sparge. Since grain displacement is such a small portion of the overall kettle volume requirement, it's the strike water that takes up most of the space. Let's take the 10 gallon batch in a 15 gallon kettle scenario for example. At full volume, it can only take 22 pounds of grain because you'll already have 13.25 gallons of water. If you remove 2 gallons of that water, the kettle can hold a whopping 38 pounds of grain! Since you'll still need that water for the volume, the easiest way to add it back in without losing efficiency is to dunk the grain bag into the 2 gallons of water in a separate container like a bucket. Of course in this example, you could not possibly submerge 38 pounds of grain under only 2 gallons of water so you can suspend the bag over the kettle with a colander or grate and do your best to pour the 2 gallons through the grain as evenly as you can. It will pick up at least some of the residual sugars on the grain which is better than simply topping off with water in the kettle.
Note that the max gravity in the chart assumes 100% starch conversion and your mileage may vary.
A decent conclusion to make is that a 10 gallon pot is still completely viable for just about any 5 gallon batch and frankly, that's about the smallest kettle you'd want to boil 7 gallons in anyway. For people that may want to do the occasional batch or low to moderate strength beer for parties and such, a 15-16 gallon pot will let you do that without losing the ability to brew 5 gallon batches as well. When you get up to 15 gallon batches, the 20 gallon pot is quite limited so you would want to look at the 25 gallon. In recent years, we're finding seemingly odd capacity kettles that happen to work great. For example, we now stock a Brewmaster kettle at 18.5 gallons which is perfect for 10 gallon BIAB with no sparge needed.
Summary:
If you already have an 8 gallon pot, the fastest way to all grain is to add a 10 gallon cooler for a mash tun and sky's the limit for 5 gallon batches. If you have a pot smaller than 8 gallons, you may as well upgrade the kettle to a 10 to 15 gallon kettle and do BIAB since you'll need the kettle upgrade anyway.
There are other considerations for mashing in separate vessels like beverage coolers for hands off temperature stability as well as tricks for holding temps in BIAB kettles, but it's out of the scope of this guide.
