The Plato Scale is a method used to convert specific gravity values into their corresponding Plato scale values. These values represent the percentage by weight of sucrose in a given solution. In the context of homebrewing, the Plato Scale provides an alternative way to express the sugar content in the wort. The conversion formula is °P = (-463.37) + (668.72 × SG) – (205.35 × SG^2), where SG represents the specific gravity. Using the Plato Scale can offer brewers a different perspective on the sugar content and fermentation potential of their brew.
