Is there open source web library for Calculating ABV or other brew related tasks

Question

Is anyone aware of a good script or library free/Open Source that can be used on a web page to calculate ABV, I'm not looking for a sites that will do the calculation for you, I want to add the javascript to my site to do the calculation.

I wrote a simple javascript but wasn't able to figure out the calculation that factored in temperature from the time it was measured. I was going to post my Javascript and html here but I cant figure out how to post my html so i'll just give the javascript below.

Also if someones know the mathematical equations to get ABV factoring in temperature I could write the JavaScript

function calcAbv() {
  var og = document.frm.og.value;
  var fg = document.frm.fg.value;
  document.frm.oneabv.value = Math.round((og - fg) * 131.25,2);
  document.frm.onealtabv.value = Math.round((76.08 * (og - fg) / (1.775 - og)) * (fg / 0.794),2);
  document.frm.twoabv.value = Math.round((1.05/0.79) * (( og- fg )/fg) * 100,2);
  document.frm.twobasabv.value = Math.round((og - fg) * 131,2);
  document.frm.threeabv.value = Math.round(((76.08 * (og - fg) / (1.775 - og)) * (fg / 0.794)),2);
  document.frm.threebasoneabv.value = Math.round(((og - fg) / .75) * 100,2);
  document.frm.threebastwoabv.value = Math.round((og - fg) * 131,2);
  document.frm.fourabv.value = Math.round((og - fg) * 131,2);
}

There is brauhaus - a javascript library for homebrew beer calculations, both in the browser and on the server

I have not used it - the homepage says features include:

• Support for multiple Javascript runtimes Node.js 0.6.x, 0.8.x, 0.10.x Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9+, Safari, Opera, etc
• Calculate estimated OG, FG, IBU, ABV, SRM color, calories, and more
• Tinseth and Rager IBU calculation formula support Pellets vs. whole hops support
• Late addition boil support
• Dry hopping support
• Built-in unit conversions (kg <-> lb/oz, liter <-> gallon, temps, etc)
• Color in °SRM to name, °EBC, °Lovibond, RGB conversions, CSS color, etc
• Plugin support to add additional features
• Lightweight - about 28kb when minified

It can be used as a client javascript library - the homepage lists examples of doing calculations. The main interface to the calculations is via a recipe - since you want direct calculation of ABV from the OG/FG, you may need to look through the code to find that specific calculation. The alternative is to build a dummy recipe and add ingredients, or try setting the recipe's OG and FG values directly.

There was a discussion on HBT about this. If you measure in Fahrenheit, the formula is as follows:

C = ((1.313454 - (0.132674*F) + (0.00205779 * F^2) - (0.000002627634 * F^2)))

Where C is the correction, and F is degrees Fahrenheit of the liquid being measured with the hydrometer. This assumes the hydrometer is calibrated for 59 degrees Fahrenheit. If you measure the degrees in Celsius, the following formula will accomplish the same, assuming (again) that the hydrometer is calibrated at an equivalent 15 degrees Celsius (changing F to DC as to not confuse with correction C):

C = ((1.313454 - (0.132674 * ((DC * 1.8) + 32)) + (0.00205779 * (((DC * 1.8) + 32))^2)) - (0.111112627634 * (((DC * 1.8) + 32))^3)))

Therefor, if you want to adjust your two variables up-front, replacing the unadjusted variables, you would do the following (assuming the temperature is variable name document.frm.og.temp and is measured in degrees Fahrenheit):

function calcAbv() {
  var og = ((1.313454 - (0.132674*document.frm.og.temp) + (0.00205779 * Math.pow(document.frm.og.temp, 2)) - (0.000002627634 * Math.pow(document.frm.og.temp, 2)))) + (document.frm.og.value * 0.001),
      fg = ((1.313454 - (0.132674*document.frm.fg.temp) + (0.00205779 * Math.pow(document.frm.fg.temp, 2)) - (0.000002627634 * Math.pow(document.frm.fg.temp, 2)))) + (document.frm.fg.value * 0.001);

  // Rest of the function
}

Otherwise, if it is measured in degrees Celsius, the following would work just as well:

function calcAbv() {
  var og = ((1.313454 - (0.132674 * ((document.frm.og.temp * 1.8) + 32)) + (0.00205779 * Math.pow((((document.frm.og.temp * 1.8) + 32)), 2))) - (0.111112627634 * Math.pow((((document.frm.og.temp * 1.8) + 32)), 3)))) + (document.frm.og.value * 0.001),
      fg = ((1.313454 - (0.132674 * ((document.frm.fg.temp * 1.8) + 32)) + (0.00205779 * Math.pow((((document.frm.fg.temp * 1.8) + 32)), 2))) - (0.111112627634 * Math.pow((((document.frm.fg.temp * 1.8) + 32)), 3)))) + (document.frm.fg.value * 0.001);

  // Rest of the function
}

I use Brewtarget. It's a java open source utility that does all you need for brewing beer, including equipment calculations, mash/ sparge temps, estimates pre boil, post boil and finishing volumes and gravity, IBU, SRM and has some nice recipe and brewday instruction printouts.

Answer 4

Bunch of good libraries from Brewerwall. Heard about this on the homebrewchat slack channel, you should join :)
