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!

That would be good.....
A converter page....
sugar wash/abv converter page

spirit dilute page

Yes that's your mission should you decide to accept it. Of corse we will deny any knowlage of your actions should any of your iron force be captured. LOL
