# Mashzo > Mashzo publishes three free brewing calculators and the answer pages that explain the readings behind them: alcohol by volume worked by HMRC's factor method rather than the 131.25 shortcut, priming sugar from the CO2 a beer already holds at its finishing temperature, and strike water, sparge volume and brewhouse efficiency for a grain bill. Every constant is named and sourced. It sells a subscription that keeps a brewer's recipes and readings; it sells no ingredients or kit. ## What this is for - For the person who brews at home and takes a gravity reading before and after, and for the very small brewer doing the same sums on bigger vessels.,Not for someone shopping for kit, malt or hops, not for anyone distilling, and not for a reader who just wants to know what to drink. ## Tools - [ABV calculator](https://mashzo.com/tools/abv-calculator/): undefined - [Priming sugar calculator](https://mashzo.com/tools/priming-sugar-calculator/): undefined - [Mashing calculator](https://mashzo.com/tools/mash-water-calculator/): undefined ## Guides - [Brew your own beer](https://mashzo.com/brew-your-own-beer/): the guides explain what each gravity reading means and how the instrument is read ## Answers - [hydrometer](https://mashzo.com/answers/hydrometer/) - [hydrometer temperature correction](https://mashzo.com/answers/hydrometer-temperature-correction/) - [hydrometer for wine](https://mashzo.com/answers/hydrometer-for-wine/) - [kegging](https://mashzo.com/answers/kegging/) - [beer fermentation](https://mashzo.com/answers/beer-fermentation/) - [how to make beer](https://mashzo.com/answers/how-to-make-beer/) - [beer recipes](https://mashzo.com/answers/beer-recipes/) ## Pricing - Free to use.
