Alcohol gauging and blending is an exacting process but can be made easier with software that performs accurate temperature correction and blending calculations to provide the quantities required. You will find several different software solutions on the appropriate pages here but a summary follows:
Alcohol Blending Software (ABS 3.4) is a suite of 140+ spreadsheets that perform alcohol blending, gauging and accounting functions using the United States TTB calibration temperature of 60° F (or 15.556° C). The first sixty functions of the program are primarily designed to allow US Distilled Spirits Plants to conduct their business operations in conformity with US regulatory requirements. The remaining eighty functions comprise the worksheets that are explained and described in volumes 1 & 2 of Alcohol Blending and Accounting. These include metric based blending procedures and the ability to blend at a calibration temperature of 20° C. using the International Alcohol Tables. The software is a companion to the two volume work, Alcohol Blending and Accounting Volumes 1 & 2 and contains all of the procedures outlined in the books.
Distillery Operations Software (1.3) is a suite of 84 spreadsheets which is the companion software to the book; Distillery Operations: How to Run a Small Distillery, and contains the supporting operable calculations that comprise the book. These calculations primarily relate to the fermentation and engineering side of operating a distillery.
