What it calculates

The “Beer substitute” calculator computes Alcohol left in the dish in g from 3 parameters: beer in the recipe (mL), beer strength (abv) (% ABV), cooking method (1 no heat, 2 added to boiling liquid and removed from heat, 3 flamed, 4 stirred in and simmered/baked 15 min, 5 — 30 min, 6 — 1 h, 7 — 1.5 h, 8 — 2 h, 9 — 2.5 h, 10 baked 25 min without stirring in).

For following a recipe precisely and scaling portions.

Example calculation

With parameters Beer in the recipe = 330 mL, Beer strength (ABV) = 5 % ABV, Cooking method (1 no heat, 2 added to boiling liquid and removed from heat, 3 flamed, 4 stirred in and simmered/baked 15 min, 5 — 30 min, 6 — 1 h, 7 — 1.5 h, 8 — 2 h, 9 — 2.5 h, 10 baked 25 min without stirring in) = 6 the result is 3.25 g (Share of alcohol retained: USDA Table of Nutrient Retention Factors, Release 6 (2007), based on Augustin et al. (1992)).
