The alcohol and attenuation tool calculates a variety of fermentation statistics based on the original gravity and final gravity of a beer. These include the apparent and real attenuation for the Levure (what percent of sugars fermented), the alcohol percentages (by volume and by weight) and the estimated number of calories in the beer.

Using the Alcohol and Attenuation Tool
| o | Select the Alcohol and Attenuation Tool from the Tools menu or ribbon. |
| o | Enter the original gravity and final gravity as measured for your beer. |
| o | The OE, AE and RE values show your original, apparent and real extract in degrees plato - figures often used by professional brewers. |
| o | The alcohol percentage will be shown (by volume and by weight) |
| o | The degree of attenuation (percent of sugars fermented) is shown - both apparent and real attenuation |
| o | The estimated number of calories (total and from alcohol) is displayed |
