Have I got these weights and measures right?

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Have I got these weights and measures right?

Post by Wobbler » Fri Jun 29, 2007 11:45 am

Any chance one of you kind folks could check my calculations of weights and measures for my water treatment? Just wanted to double check to save on potential disaster.

If I need to use 0.4 pints per 36 imperial gal, does that equal 31.94 ml per 23 litres?

If I need to use 5 oz per 36 imperial gal, does that equal 19.96 grams per 23 litres?

TIA

I made the second one 19.92 g / 23 L but apart from that I agree 8)

I suppose it depends on how many decimal places you carry forward when calculating down. 19.92 grams, 19.96 grams, all the same to me, :) my digital scales don't measure 100ths of a gram anyway :=P :)

At least I've got the decimal points in the right places, that was my main concern.

Thanks
