Caloric Content of Brewprints and/or Ingredients?

[Steve Gyldenvand]

Hi all. I've recently embarked on a personal mission to improve my general health and fitness. I retired a year ago and now have the time and resources to really make the most of my retirement years, but after about 6 months of indulging my every whim, I realized that I was on a sure track to wrecking my health. So, I have successfully turned things around in the last few months, stepping up my exercise and altering the way I eat and, to a small extent, drink.

Fortunately, my new agenda includes regularly enjoying the results of my continual Droiding. Now, I try to be aware of my daily caloric intake, and I generally assume about 150-200 calories per beer consumed, but I've been wondering how close I've been guessing.  I did a quick search here and can't find any mention of the caloric content of the various Brewart Brewprints or Ingredients. Does anyone have any data about what, for example, a single E1 or X5 adds to the calories of any given 10L batch? It would be enlightening to know.

And by the way, it's been a loss of 31 pounds in 12 weeks. (Not to brag, but...well, yeah, to brag.)

A really good question and I would like to know as well.

How I've been trying to get the calorie or KJ content for my beers is to chose a commercial beer that I think is close in terms of style and ABV and go from there but obviously open to a large margin of error.

probably looking at 131 calories per 330ml or 11fl oz

 

The Coopers Pale ale is 158 calories  for 375 ml, which is 12.5 fl oz

 

BTW, 31 pounds off is a great effort
