I use this one for calculating the amount of water to be added.

((Current %ABV \ Target %ABV)-1) X Original Volume

Either will do

To calculate what you have now is just equation's.

Add all your different volumes altogether, this gives a total of 1900ml.

To work out the combined abv;

200/1900x55% plus 700/1900x67% plus 1000/1900x62%

To work out the water required;

(Current abv/Target abv x Volume)- Volume

Hope this helps so you are not website dependant.

As you've already mixed them you need to add 498ml of water to bring the combined volume to 50% - your first target ABV - bringing your total volume to 2398ml

To get that down to 45% you will need to add a further 266ml bringing the total volume to 2664ml

To get to 40% you will need to add a further 333ml making a final volume of 2997ml.

Hope this helps

What do you use to get the abv as it stands mixed now, adding all 3 together, then I can just go off the current abv to add the water, thanks

Proofing

2013-08-25T11:11:49+00:00

Hi, if anyone could work this out quickly so I can proof it down

I had 200ml 55%
700ml 67%
1000ml 62%

Have mixed all these together and wondering what I now have and how much water to add to get down to 50%, then 45% then finally 40%

Thanks
