Enter the total grams of creditable grains in the recipe (g) and the number of servings in the recipe into the Grain Loading Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Grain Loading. 

Grain Loading Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Grain Loading.

GL = CG / S

Variables:

  • GL is the Grain Loading (creditable grains/serving)
  • CG is the total grams of creditable grains in the recipe (g) 
  • S is the number of servings in the recipe 

To calculate the grain loading, divide the total grams of creditable grains in the recipe by the number of servings.

How to Calculate Grain Loading?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Grain Loading.


  1. First, determine the total grams of creditable grains in the recipe (g). 
  2. Next, determine the number of servings in the recipe. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = GL = CG / S.
  4. Finally, calculate the Grain Loading.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total grams of creditable grains in the recipe (g) = 350

number of servings in the recipe = 29

GL = CG / S = ?
