Calcium Chloride values wrong in BTP
Calcium Chloride values wrong in BTP
According to Palmer, 1 gram of Calcium Chloride should add 72 ppm Ca and 127 ppm Cl. Beer Tools Pro is adding 75 ppm Ca and 67 ppm Cl.

Welcome, JimInNJ
Just noticed your post and that you are pretty new here so I want to welcome you to these forums. I hate that it's been five days since your post and no one has replied. I figure Jeff and Lathe (the developers of BeerToolsPro who are generally very responsive) must be very busy right now, but hopefully any correction will show up in the next upgrade.
Cheers.
Bill Velek

Re: I'm wrong
Lets not forget that the whole reason this conversation started is because I got it wrong in BTP. Yes, we all have bad days.slothrob wrote:Sorry about that, I did the math wrong. I'm a biochemist and should know better, but we all have bad days, right?

Jeff, can you help some of us out here?
[quote="slothrob"]I believe Palmer is right, according to my math.
This would be correct for anhydrous CaCl2, though, not CaCl2

[quote="billvelek"]By the way, I think I've figured out that CaCl2 is calcium cloride, but what is CaCl2

Thanks
Thanks, Jeff. I've edited the table and it looks like this now: http://home.alltel.net/billvelek/btp-wa ... owser.html
However, not only do I not know the breakdown of elements (Ca, Mg, etc.) for Anhydrous Calcium Chloride, but there also does not appear to be a way for a user to enter those values in the editor, unless I'm overlooking something somewhere. Just thought I'd mention this now before I forget, and then I presume you will eventually address that whenever you get around to working in this area of the program.
Had a mishap while brewing last weekend, although I don't blame BTP. It was late, and I was tired and in a hurry, and so I forgot to double-check the volume of my kettle with a dipstick ruler when my boil was complete. The last several brews came out a little less than my carboy, which added a bit of complaceny on my part. Well, you can probably guess that after crash cooling, I siphoned into my carboy, but left the kitchen to do some things, and when I came back I had about a pint of wort spead out over the kitchen floor.
Cheers.
