Adding water/Learning to count

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Adding water/Learning to count

Post by Metaphore »

I got 92% from my still and decided that the proportion of this 92% stuff needs to be 44% of the total for me to get 40% ABV vodka. So, I added 700 ml of 92% product to 900 ml of water and it now measures 60% on the alcohometer.

I couldn't make a mistake with the volumes - 2 x 250 ml beakers to the 250 line and 1 x 250 ml beaker filled to 200 ml and it was in 3 separate beakers. This was all of the product from the run. The water was measured with a 1 liter beaker with 20 ml gradations filled to 900 ml. The result is in a 2 liter container and looks pretty damn close to 1.6 liters.

Am I not counting this right? Is it not 700 ml of 92% to 900 ml water?

Thanks
