How to calculate beer calories [complete guide]


how to calculate beer calorie

 calculating beer calories depends on two factors which is given below

if you directly want to see the formulae to calculate beer calories, directly go below 
  1. original gravity
  2. Final gravity 

These don't relate to physics directly, these are the term related to both beer craft industry and common density of the nonalcoholic beverages.

Original Gravity

 It is the relative gravity before the fermentation process. 

Final Gravity
it is the relative density measured after the completion of the fermentation process.

 ABV = (OG - FG) * 131.25. ABV = alcohol by volume, OG = original gravity, and FG = final gravity. So, using this formula with a beer having an OG of 1.045 and a FG of 1.012, yourABV would be 4.33%.
[NOTE: this ABV is not the calorie content, ABV is the alcoholic percent which has developed after the fermentation process. ]
Now, for calculating the beer calorie two things to be known by you
1ml of alcohol 0.8g weight and 1g of alcohol has 7 calories.

Calculation:

suppose alcoholic content is 4.33%. then for simple calculations
100ml of quantity will have 4.33ml of alcohol.

4.33ml alcohol = 3.464g of alcohol
3.464g of alcohol= 24.248 calorie

BEER CALORIE=[(OG - FG) *131.25]*0.8*7]=[OG - FG]*735
(the above formulae is standard for 100ml.)

this formula is used by the craft beer makers. yes, those fancy craft where you have gone many times. do you know how they used to make beer so easy which is just an industrial process

How beer calories affect your health

know your beer calories first as general I would like to tell you that beer calories are much fattier than normal food calories along with beer calories has no nutritional value as compared to body requirement. they result in weight gain at a fast rate. calories are almost the same for every food or beverage but the concern with the beer is more because of its an alcoholic beverage. remember our body can store carbohydrates, protein, and fat but our body cannot store alcohol our  body gives a priority in synthesizing the alcohol prior to the absorption of nutrients. knowing your beer calories has become an essential part of the modern day era . do you read the information printed on the back of your beer bottle or do you know the average amount of beer calories in a bottle or can? they both are different for lager and ale. A pint of  lager  with 4%  ABV can  contain 180 calories A pint of ale  with 4%  ABV can  contain 250 calories (source- https://www.drinkawar
