Link Description
Equation Details Not a calculator but describes the calculators and their equations
Pot Still Purity For Pot stills: Calculate start up time and collection rate/time for a volume of wash and given heat source.
Pot Calc (v2) Not currently working - For Pot stills: Calculate start up time and collection rate/time for a volume of wash and given heat source.
Reflux Still Sizing & Purity For Relux stills: Calculate start up time and collection rate/time for a volume of wash and given heat source. Includes variations for different packing types.
EtOH Temp Conv Calc Not currently working - Correct ABV calculations for temp when using a spirit hydrometer.
HETP Calc Height Equivalent of Theoretical Plate (HETP) for packed columns. Includes variations for different packing types. Good to understand max ABV achievable from a still.
Reflux Heat and Mass Balance Lets you model the heat and mass balances around a typical 4 plate column. For understanding how to create equilibrium.
Condenser Size Calculate the size of condenser for a given heat source. Good for building your still.
Product Dilute Calc Dilution calculator. Useful when diluting your product to drinking strength.
