G'day all,

I have often been puzzled with the problem of calculating the correct amounts of essences, alcohol and water to get the ideal tipple. So we have put a Spread Sheet together which anyone with a similar problem may find useful. It works online or you can download to you own PC's if you wish.

"Pestorf" essences calculator ...

I use an Android App called Stillmate.
Just enter quantity of alcohol and abv, desired abv and it will calculate the amount of water needed or alternatively you can enter desired amount required, your alcohol abv and your desired abv and it will calculate the amount of water required.
I have been using it for a couple of years now and it has been pretty much foolproof.

Cheers.
