Calculators: Spirit Hydrometer Temp Correction and Spirit Volume by Weight and Proof

Post by Homebrewer11777 »

Found this today. Table 1 and Table 4 from TTB turned into Excel calculator available here:
https://miller.engineering.ucdavis.edu/resources

Table 1 corrects proof and tralle hydrometer (alcometer) calibrated to 60F to any temperature from 0-100F.
Table 4 is spirit volume calculated from weight and proof. This is the one I looked for a few months ago and was not able to find.

I've been using the paper version of table 4 to determine volume of spirit contained in my Badmo barrels. I take a tare weight of the barrel wet and empty before I fill it, then can easily determine current volume based on current weight and ABV.
