Would any one have figures for the heat generated from average wort fermentation

Lets base this on say one liter of 12.5 Plato wort fermenting @ 18 degrees

If so please post in either kilo joules or watts

Cheers speedie



 
Yes its 587kJ or 140kCal same as 0.16kWh for every 1 kg of extract converted to alcohol.
