Calculation of extracts of beer-mixed drinks.

Abstract

The paper discusses the calculation of original wort extract and other extract by Balling's formula. Currently the Balling's formula is used incorrectly for beer-mixed drinks, because the result is influenced by sugars that are brought to beer-mixed drink by syrup after fermentation. Such a use of Balling's formula restricts the quality control of beer-mix drink, but also incorrectly calculates the amount of excise tax of these drinks. The paper proposes modification of Balling's formula so it can calculate only the extract, which is brought to beer-mixed drink by beerThe paper discusses the calculation of original wort extract and other extract by Balling's formula.
