How Much CO2 Will My Fermenter Produce?

When brewing a new beer, most focus on flavor and alcohol content. But many forget to ask: how much CO₂ is produced during fermentation?

In a recent article, Lenzie Kinyon, DALUM’s brewing consultant and head of installs in the U.S., explains how to calculate this. His method uses simple formulas that are easy to apply in any brewery. It’s especially relevant for brewers who want to recover CO₂ and improve sustainability.

You’ll learn how to:

• Convert specific gravity to °Plato
• Estimate sugar use during fermentation
• Calculate potential CO₂ output per barrel

Lenzie also shares a practical example, showing exactly how much CO₂ a fermenter can release – and what portion of that you can realistically recover.
