Calculators page

Post by Uncle Jesse »

The calculators page has been (mostly) fixed. One of them "EtOH Temp Conv Calc" doesn't work for me.

Please check them and report back.

I know that all of these pages need to have links added for "return to home page", "HD forum" and what not, but for now I hope the functionality is back.

Thanks to Fart Vader for working on the code for us!

It doesn't work for me, but another poster says it works.

When I try to use it, it sends me to https://homedistiller.org/index.php?mn= ... 8&tempi=22

If you go to the homepage and click the link on top everything's golden. If you use the link at the bottom of tbe forum it's a broken link.

Both top and bottom links worked for me. Looks like all calculators work now. I didn’t test the pages but they all opened.

Awesome, thanks UJ & Fart Vader!

The link from the Wiki works and goes to: https://homedistiller.org/wiki/index.php/calcs.php
The link on the footer of the forum does not, it goes to: https://homedistiller.org/calcs

They all seem to work except the two below. For some reason if you click the calc button it goes to the wiki main page. It may be a browser issue or something like it if other people get them to work.

I believe that is as intended.

Hey Jesse. Thanks for all you and the Mods do for us.

Is anyone getting the alcometer temp correction calculator to work yet? When I open it (on an iPad), enter my data and press calculate, it still sends me back to the Parent Site homepage.
Any updates coming or is it just operator error? :shock:
Thanks

I had the same problem on the same calc yesterday - submit entry and bounce back to homepage.

I created a wiki page for calculators to do a better job of describing what they do. If ok we could point the other calc links to this.

https://homedistiller.org/wiki/index.php/Calculators

This is V1. I will update it once I get a little more time. It's kinda ugly so I will clean it up.

Thanks for continuing to work on the calculators, I do love them so!

I've been keeping better records on spirit runs and used the Pot Still Purity calculator to try and match up my numbers. With all other inputs equal, in order to get my cut volumes to match I have to set reflux pretty high (40%) - I do have about 40" of glass stainless riser, 12" copper riser, and 90 degree lyne arm (most of this is for convenience as my condenser is a 24" vertical shotgun). Does it seem plausible that my reflux rate is that high?

Thanks, SMY. This is a great resource.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Updated for aesthetics. Should be easier to understand the pages with multiple calculators on it.
