* All boiling temperatures at altitude of 0m
(i.e. at standard atmospheric pressure 101.25kPa).
If distilling at other altitudes/pressures, adjust
the temperature in "Unit conversion" Tab. |
|
* All %abv readings measured at hydrometer
calibrated temperature of 20°C.
If measuring %abv at other temperatures,
adjust the %abv reading in the
"unit conversion" tab.
