Plan the batch, treat the water, brew and clean in the right order, ferment it out, and keg or bottle it safely, using the same ABV, water chemistry, priming sugar and keg carbonation math this site's own free calculators already give you.
Replaces the recipe notes scattered across three apps, the priming sugar scooped by volume instead of weighed, and the equipment purchase made without ever lining it up against what this site's own builds actually cost.

Who it's for
- Anyone choosing between extract, all-grain three vessel and all-in-one equipment before spending real money
- Anyone who wants OG, FG and ABV worked out the same way every time instead of guessing at a formula from memory
- Anyone treating their water who wants the salt additions and the resulting ion profile written down, not just typed into a calculator and forgotten
- Anyone who wants priming sugar weighed against a real number and keg pressure set correctly the first time
- Anyone who wants to know what a batch actually costs, and whether the equipment they are eyeing would ever pay for itself
Who made this
Built by the BrewGearCalc team, the people behind the free ABV, IBU, water chemistry, priming sugar and keg carbonation calculators on this site, from this site's own formulas, published equipment comparisons and its own six complete builds. Researched, not professional advice, and not a substitute for your own state's home brewing laws.

Questions
- How do I get it?
- Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
- Can I print it more than once?
- Yes. Print as many copies as you need. The recipe sheet, fermentation log, tasting notes and cleaning schedule are made to be reprinted every batch.
- What if it is not what I expected?
- Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked.
- Does this replace the free calculators on the site?
- No, it works with them. A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your own recipes, water chemistry, fermentation logs and tasting notes together on paper, and points at the online buyer guide for current prices.
- Does this cover cider, mead or distilling?
- No. This kit stays in scope with the site: beer brewing, from recipe planning through kegging or bottling. It does not cover distilling in any form, which is illegal in the United States without a federal permit.
- Is this specific to one brewing method?
- No. The Equipment Buying Decision Sheet covers extract, all-grain three vessel and all-grain all-in-one, and the rest of the kit works the same way regardless of which one you brew with.
