Version 1.7.1 should have fixed that

Ah 1.7 isn’t in the iOS store yet, unpredictable how long that takes

It’s still 1.6

Great app, I've uninstalled others calc apps as your calc combines all the functions of several apps I have been using.

I noticed a typo in the liqueur calc which asks for mg of sugar but think it should be gm

Using android version

Great app. Everything in one place.
Can I suggest adding temperature correction when using an Alcometer

Hmmm, alcometer = hygrometer?

If so it has that, 'specific gravity adjustment' on the conversions tab

Might have the terminology wrong but Alcometer measures alcohol abv / proof in distilled product. Hydrometer measures SG? I thought the temperature correction for both was different.

Sorry if I’m confusing you with bad terminology but relatively new to this hobby. Put a link to a conversion above. I thought this table for correcting temperature was different to the conversion in your app. I use a hydrometer for measuring specific gravity at start and finish of ferment, and Alcometer for measuring alcohol content of distilled product.

ah ok, sure. Yeah I can add that in.. I'll have to look into it, the ABV adjust turned out to not be as simple as it seemed. 8)

so for gallons, you guys use decimals right? like 1.55 gallons? or do you break it down to oz. ?

the online calculators I'm seeing seem to use decimals...

hygrometer, instrument used in meteorological science to measure the humidity, or amount of water vapour in the air. Several major types of hygrometers are used to measure humidity.

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water.

We use metric here. Litres, millilitres

Yeah I'm in canada so , same. But many people here are in the USA, and use gallons, which is madness in my opinion. but there it is.

MonstersX, I’m enjoying your ap on my Iphone 6 but I’m unable to use the liquer calculator because the number pad covers the bottom . I can grab the screen and pull it up , but as soon as I let go , it drops back under the numeric pad again so I am unable to enter the sugar field and calculate buttons .

I have a similar problem with the bottle volume calc, but on that I can just make out the top of the Calculate button and if I’m careful , just hit it .

It seems that the Liqueur and Bottle volume aren't responding to taping a clear part of the screen to remove the Numeric pad .

Otherwise , its Very handy and I look forward to a few of those bugs fixed

@Hügelwilli , would the right way to do this be to actually use the table 6 lookups? or do you think using this lookup is correct?

Honestly, I think help from me leads to more needed help. And the closer I look at your work the more mistakes I will find. This doesn't sound like a good way of spending my time. Enough said.

@Yummyrum the small screen issue is fixed. Also you can now archive a batch with a right swipe. new version should deploy tomorrow morning (1.7.3)

Do you think you should go to the "Play Store" every time and update manually (I do it). It would be nice if the app warns about the availability of updates.
Edit: Of course since you use iOS you should go to "App Store"

Thanks Demy , LOL as you can probably guess , I’m not a big App store shopper …. but that was less painful than I imagined .

That works a treat now . Thank you for your work .

The default on iOS is that they update automatically
