Another awesome video. The calculation is the potential volume of all compounds produced by the yeast converting available sugars and water, which includes ethanol. Unless a distillation system is 100% closed, there will be natural evaporation/losses and you will never get 100% of the ethanol (and other compounds) out of the wash. I find a rule of thumb is to expect roughly 80% of the calculated volume. If I did a stripping run and end up with 5 gal at 40%, that calculates to 2 gal at 100% (5 gal x 40% = 2). Taking that to a spirit run, I actually expect to get 80% or 1.6 (2 gal x 80% = 1.6 gal) to work with (stuff I want) at the end. If I distill again, I expect 80% again. This is of course my experience on my setup and how I have learned to operate it to get the best quality results for my taste. Other’s mileage may vary, but the point is the calculator is indicative, expectations come from experience of results. Shine on…every run (and video) puts some new info in your tool kit.
Great video. I would like to mention that arithmetic is an international language, and the rule is: when you have an equation the convention is that you multiply and divide first and you add and subtract second. So in you equation at 0:42 where you show how to calculate the percentage of ABV should be written (OG-FG) x 131.25 and the constant 131.25 already contains the 100 percentage.
You're passion in distilling is amazing and the work your doing to school people up is pretty freaking awesome. Lol 😂 the closest I get to math is working out how much volume of alcohol I drink each week and making shore I do my mash in on time to ferment and run(weather dependent) before I run out 🤣..... trying some more cello's this week using preserved fruit,so hoping to get some lady friends to come up to farm try some cocktails..... you'll have to get misses stillin to do a video one day on the perfect moonshine cocktails to impress the ladies 🤣🤣 .....8 in the morning is probably too early to start drinking but it's a day off 🥃 chears everyone shine on
Thanks, brother. I really do enjoy teaching others, and on that note we have a huge announcement coming soon that is going to help even more folks get into distilling. Those cello's you made look delicious. I doubt we'll ever convince windsong to do a video, but you never know.
Sir distillery is a making alcohol kitchen am l right. So alcohol uses of little bit antiaxicent in human body ex rum (regular use medicine). And your videos are very good and expensive. Good luck.
Way to take care of the community. Making it simple. Well done

You are correct. When I create the downloadable PDF for all the equations I will remember that. Thank you.
Cool and very interesting. Thanks Cyrus
Shine on Brother
All this math, my head is spinning, I need a drink !!! But very helpful, thanks .
Thank you sir. As always, great info!

You will get what you get 😂 like when someone ask me where to find gold... I tell them where you find it 😂
Yes I'd like to see the video
Thank you very much we are learning from you can wine be made from barley
Great job man. Is there a way of using the ABV of the mash or anything else to estimate the expected Proof of the distillate?
@@debonpanton3366 not accurately because the proof of the run has more to do with the type of still and how it's being run.
lol! “And I’ll do the math on the computer!…”

How do I make pomegranate mash
If you look at grapes or plums. theres a white film on them. Is that natural yeast. I also was woundering if honey contains natural yeast.
Generally speaking, that's true about the grapes and plums. I'm unsure about the honey.
Great video but you have one more calculation to make...
Imperial to metric!
Please and thank you kind Sir 🙏
Cyrus I definitely won't one of those PD f's . This is bam bam from run it
@@StillnTheClear It just sends me back to the comments the link you sent
@@tomwic send me a DM with your email. I'll try something else.
10 gallon of 15% 1.5 gallon
But you didn't take in consideration the alcohol you lose in the first run, and the alcohol you lose in the head and in the tail wasn't you?
I think it is just a matter of luck.
