Alcohol Distilling Calculators

Every home distiller knows that you have to do some calculations to make sure you turn out some good batches.  Materials aren't cheap and the last thing you want to do is dump a whole batch down the drain because you didn't calculate the right X to get your Y.  So we're helping you out.  Here's some calcuators you can use for things like alcohol dilution or even proofing to make sure you're on the right track.  It also makes the buying process a little easier because you only have to buy what you need and not guess.

Fortification (spirit addition)

Current alcohol (%v/v)
Desired alcohol (%v/v)
Spirit alcohol (%v/v)
Volume of wine parts
Volume of spirit to add parts
Details: This calculator works in the same way as a traditional Pearson's square. It is used to give the volume of spirit (of known alcohol content) to add to a volume of wine (of known alcohol content), to bring it to a desired alcohol content.
