Starsan dilution??

[WishboneBrewery]

The bottle says 1oz to 5 Gallons, will this be 1 Fluid oz & 5 US Gallons?

I only actually need to mix up 300ml and I'm feeling rather Mathematically challenged at the moment Could anyone help??

Cheers

A fluid oz is actually a measure of volume IRC being the volume taken up by one oz water and 1 pint equalling 20 fluid ounces. It's an American product isn't it, it which I'd image it means their inferior gallons.

1 US gallon is about 3.79 litres so 5 is 18.95 litres
1 oz is 28.5 g so for 300 ml you'll need 28.5 *.3 / 18.95 = 0.45 grammes. You probably haven't got a set of scales capable of accurately weighing such a small amount.

Thats brilliant, if we think of 1g = 1ml that would be approximately half filling my 1ml syringe (I bought a few sizes of syringes as I thought they were going to come in handy sooner or later)

I use 1.5 to 2 mils per litre of water. I think that's about right.

[WishboneBrewery]

yeah... that kinda works out with the other calculation

Excellent stuff, cheers

It was really bugging me that the Americans had different gallons, yet their inches and pounds were the same, so I looked it up on wikipedia. Apparently, back in the day, a gallon meant different things depending on what you were measuring, so you had a corn gallon, a wine gallon, an ale gallon, a gummi bear gallon, a slightly off milk gallon and a really off milk gallon and a load of other gallons.

The Americans liked the wine gallon while the empire went with the ale gallon.

It is an inferior gallon. I thought my eyes were off when I first got to Canada until I slowly realized that my pint was slightly smaller than I was used to - and they fill the last half inch with foam.

To tell you the truth, I prefer the Klingon gallon.

It's amazing what you learn when homebrewing.

So how big is a klingon Gallon?
