Not sure how that works pi55ed, are the figures for a 800ml batch or ?

Jimmy,
you should set something up like that on your site for us smartstillers.

Here is another chart..........>>
40% by volume.>>
For best results use a

carbon filtered water supply

or if not available cool

boiled water.

If you do not have a spirit

hydrometer assume your

alcohol strength is 80% and

dilute accordingly.

Yes now that makes sence, no uncut volume figures in your fist post, thats what threw me.
What I do is mix 400ml of my 80% with 400ml of RO DI water. I have a demijohn full of the stuff - happy days

Man I love this hobby.

Yeah I keep meaning to code up some calculators but I never seem to get round to it - one day I will do a page that has all the useful ones on there!
