Beer Profile Legend

Let’s learn what all those fancy letters mean!

• SRM (Color): Shows how dark your beer is. 🍺

  • Low SRM = light beer (like lemonade)

  • High SRM = dark beer (like chocolate milk)

  • You pick this by choosing pale or dark malts.

• ABV (Alcohol): Tells you how strong your beer is. 💪

  • Happens after you pick your yeast. Yeast eats sugar and makes alcohol!

• IBU (Bitterness): Measures how bitter your beer tastes. 🌿

  • Depends on your hop type and its alpha acid percentage.

  • More hops or longer boil = more bitterness.

• OG (Original Gravity): Shows how sugary your wort is before fermenting. 🥣

  • More sugar = higher OG.

• FG (Final Gravity): Shows how much sugar is left after fermenting. 🍻

  • Lower FG = drier beer, because yeast ate more sugar.

Use these numbers to see how your beer will look, taste, and feel!
