There seems to be something wrong with the conversions: according to the calculator 1 US Gal = 7.258 Litres ???

 

[JamesP]

Known problem. The problem comes from generalising the conversion between wieghts to volumes, based on honey.

It is based around 12 pounds of honey is approx 1 gallon => sg=1.088 in 5 gallons

When I update it next, I will be allowing for density of each item (fruit, honey, ...) which allows proper conversion between the weights and volumes.

For most things, it will give you a good ball-park figure.

calculator request

Can I request an addition to the mead calculator? Molasses is missing from the list of sugars. My bottle says it has 10g of sugar (though 14 of carbohydrates) per 22g.

Thanks.
