Is there a way to tell how many carbs are in my homebrew?
Try this

I’m not sure about Beersmith or other recipe apps, but Brewer’s Friend gives you an estimate of calories and grams of carbohydrates in the recipe builder.

My bathroom scale does a damn good job!! ;D
Beersmith will give you a carb estimate.

As will Brewfather.
The March/April '24 Zymurgy that published last week has a piece on Low-Carb beers, which includes information on determining the level of carbs. It’s called “The Art and Science of Low-Carb Beers” by Samuel Loader (page 44).

Good to see Sam writing for Zymurgy. He’s really knowledgeable as well as being a great guy.
I was thinking about maybe doing something on low carb homebrewing, but I guess not now. Oh well, on to something else.
I am looking forward to receiving the issue and reading the article. A couple of years ago I went on a low carb diet and lost 40 lbs. For beer I drank mostly Michelob Ultra at 2.5 g of carbs per can. I got tired of drinking Michelob Ultra and went back to drinking normal beer. I haven’t gained any weight back, but I haven’t lost any either. I would love to be able to brew a 2.5 g carb/12 oz. version of some of my favorite beers.
