Enter measured % TDS and Beverage Yield, ExtractMoJo computes actual Extraction Yield and Liquid Retained Ratio. Density as a function of temperature is accounted for in all calculations using Brew Water or Beverage Volume. Full conversions are provided, including Metric/English and Weights/Volumes in any combination.
• BYPASS Mode Coffee – for large scale commercial brewers. Computes all brewer programming requirements including concentrate strength, brewer and grinder dosing, bypass amount automatically for any brewer or brewing method.
