Calculation Formula

Specific Gravity (SG) = 1 + (Plato / 259)

Where:
SG = Specific Gravity
Plato = Brix percentage in grape must or wort

Plato to Specific Gravity Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Plato to Specific Gravity Calculator for brewing and winemaking.

What is Plato?

Plato is a measurement of sugar content in grape must or wort, commonly used in winemaking and brewing. It represents the percentage by weight of sucrose in the liquid.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Plato percentage in the input field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to convert Plato to Specific Gravity.
  3. The Specific Gravity value will be displayed in the results section.

Applications

This calculator is useful for brewers and winemakers who need to convert between Plato and Specific Gravity for monitoring fermentation and adjusting recipes.

Example

If you have a grape must with a Plato reading of 20%, the Specific Gravity would be calculated as follows:

SG = 1 + (20 / 259) = 1.0769
