Dilution & Blending Calculators

Built-in calculators for common distillery calculations.

Dilution Calculator

Purpose

Calculate water needed to dilute spirits to target ABV.

How to Use

1. Navigate to Calculator → Dilution.
2. Enter current volume and ABV.
3. Enter target ABV.
4. The system calculates:
   • Water to add.
   • Final volume.
   • Adjustment for temperature.

Temperature Correction

• ABV changes with temperature.
• Always measure at consistent temperature.
• Calculator adjusts for 20°C standard.

Temperature Correction Calculator

Purpose

Correct ABV readings taken at non-standard temperatures.

How to Use

1. Enter measured ABV.
2. Enter temperature when measured.
3. Calculator shows ABV at 20°C (standard).

Why This Matters

• Legal requirements specify ABV at 20°C.
• Alcohol expands/contracts with temperature.
• Ensures label accuracy.

Blending Calculator

Purpose

Create 1L master blend recipes, then scale to production batches.

Creating a Recipe

1. Design 1L master blend.
2. Add components:
   • Base spirits (with ABV%).
   • Flavorings (with ABV%).
   • Water.
3. The system calculates final ABV and volumes.

Scaling to Production

1. Enter target output volume.
2. Enter desired final ABV.
3. Calculator shows:
   • Volume of each component needed.
   • Total water required.
   • Final batch specifications.

Inventory Integration

• Links to flavoring inventory items.
• Tracks ABV of liquid flavorings.
• Ensures accurate blending calculations.

Tips

• Always use calibrated hydrometers/refractometers.
• Record measurement temperatures.
• Save common blends as recipes.
• Double-check calculations before large batches.
• Use calculators during distilling for real-time decisions.
