Class Method Details

.attenuation(original, current) ⇒ Fixnum

Note:

Extract must be measured in Plato

Calculates apparent attenuation

Examples:

Yeast.attenuation 13.5, 3.1

Parameters:

  • original (Float) —

    original Plato

  • current (Float) —

    current Plato

Returns:

  • (Fixnum) —

    apparent attenuation

def self.attenuation original, current
  (((original - current) / original) * 100).round
end

.cells_required(data) ⇒ Fixnum

Note:

Extract must be measured in Plato, volume in liters

Calculates yeast cells required for fermentation

Examples:

Yeast.cells_required({
  extract: 15,
  volume: 20
})

Yeast.cells_required({
  extract: 15,
  volume: 20,
  type: lager
})

Parameters:

  • data (Hash) —

    data required to calculate yeast cells required; extract, volume and optionally type. type defaults to :ale but may also be :hybrid or :lager

Returns:

  • (Fixnum) —

    yeast cells required
