Pitching Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Pitching Rate (PITR) is:

\[ PITR = \frac{C}{V} \]

Where:

\(PITR\) is the Pitching Rate (cells/mL)
\(C\) is the total number of cells
\(V\) is the volume (mL)

What is Pitching Rate?

The pitching rate is a measure of the concentration of cells in a given volume. It is commonly used in brewing and microbiology to determine the amount of yeast or other microorganisms needed for fermentation or other processes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Cells (C) = 1,000,000 cells
Volume (V) = 100 mL

Using the formula to calculate Pitching Rate (PITR):

\[ PITR = \frac{1,000,000}{100} = 10,000 \text{ cells/mL} \]

The Pitching Rate is 10,000 cells/mL.
