Graham Wheeler's water calculator

(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!

If you were doing it for the web again it would be worth doing it in bootstrap with jQuery and a knockout or angular viewmodel backend.

A simple option then would be to use something like amplifyjs to abstract a local storage for values which would semi-persist them but obviously they would be lost when clearing the browser cache etc. Otherwise you would need to go down the route of plugging things into accounts etc.

I keep getting very tempted to build a brilliantly useable mobile first "brew tools" site. The programming isn't a problem its the math and understanding.

Edit: Sod it, going to start playing with my hop addition tool again.

just out of geeky interest I thought you might be interested in the following I put into my hop calculator last night.


<input class="form-control" type="range" min="1.010" max="1.150" step="0.001" data-bind="value: Gravity" />

This gives you a native HTML slider control.

It seems like a great first step for those of us dipping our toes into water treatment... are you telling us not to use it? :mrgreen:

No, not at all. I just thought that the current flavour of the month was a certain water-treatment spreadsheet that is very heavily plugged on here and elsewhere by its author.

There are people who do try and suggest that perhaps there are other alternative approaches that may very well have a better result :0

And the good news is, I managed to find the correct version in an old JBK site backup, so all should now be correct and at the latest version!

I put the blame firmly on a combination of old age and excessive alcohol consumption in my youth. :wink:

I'm relatively new to all of this water stuff, but find Graham's calculator great and straight forward to use :)
