calculations for newbie

[jeddog]

Hi all,
just getting into distilling after a year or so brewing some fine beers.
I'm from The Mornington Peninsula in Victoria , Australia and hope someone out there can help me.

I'm after the formula for water to alcohol ratio for when I'm diluting my spirit

eg.. on the weekend a friend and i ended up with 4lt of 92% spirit...how do you do the calculation to get it to 40% with out using a alcohol meter? we do have one but would like the formula

also the conversion rate for temperature when using a alcohol meter

eg.. if the spirit is 23c instead of 20c..what do you + or - to adjust the alcohol?

i did do a search of this site and couldn't find what i was after
i find the searches on forums almost impossible to use....................

stupid new guy!!

Hmm,

From parent site, look under the "distill" section. There is a dilution tab.
