How much DME do I need for that starter?

[nostalgia]

Most of us have our set amounts, but maybe this week you're brewing a lager that needs a giant starter. Or you want to build your starter with a different gravity from the norm. Or maybe you want to make your starter with a weird sugar source.

My DME calculator has you covered

This is something I've wanted for a while and finally calculated out. Feedback is most definitely welcome.

Quick update: scroll position is now saved so you don't have to scroll down to see your results. Tables were cleaned up a bit.

Next a cookie will save your settings so you can use them later without re-typing.

Thanks! I guess it works, eh?

Cookies should be working now for both calculators. LMK if you have any problems, input or suggestions.

Is this calculator dead? The link no longer works. Thanks.

You need a calculator for this? All you really need to do is move a decimal point.

i.e. a 1.67L starter needs 167 grams of DME.

Linky no worky. Did you move it. I mean it is kinda old but I woulda liked to have seen it anyway.

Yes, it did move! Thanks for the bump. Here's the new link:

Yes, it's lazy, but it is nice to have because I do not always like using starters with a 1.039 gravity, which is basically what your "rule of thumb" measurement provides.
