Suggested Response - Q4
*The latest brew collected in kettle is 800 hL at 13.5 ˚Plato at SG 1.055. How much extract is there in this brew? (The density of water at 20˚C is 0.9982 kg/L).
Response:
The SG needs to be converted to density 1.055 x 0.9982 = 1.053
kg extract = hL x ˚Plato x Density
kg extract = 800 x 13.5 x 1.053 = 11,372 kg extract
