Hydration Calculator

Toast

Hello everyone,

I have made a hydration calculator that will tell you, given input ingredients, how much flour or water you need to add for your desired hydration. I've tested it with recipes that are under hydration (in which case it tells you how much water to add) and recipes that are over hydration (in which case it tells you how much flour to add). It'll even cope with ingredients like eggs, sweet potatoes, or anything else with a partial hydration; simply input the actual amount of hydration added, so an 80% hydration egg at 50g would be 40g of water in the sheet. It supports as many ingredients as you'd like.

Here's the link:

To make changes, make a copy and edit that sheet - enjoy!

 

ps. the reason I made this instead of using other versions that already exist is because the features I'm looking for really don't exist elsewhere. I wanted to be able to calculate how much flour or water to add, depending on which one is required. I also wanted to add infinite numbers of stages instead of being limited to what's built into the sheet. This fulfills both functions admirably!
