Here is a calculator I use to calculate the alcohol volume of my moonshine or brandies to calculate the exact volume of litres I have from the weight of the spirit. You can use it too.
The data for the conversion is from the International Organisation of Legal Metrology. The International Alcometric Tables. https://www.oiml.org/en/files/pdf_r/r022-e75.pdf
How to Calculate the Volume of your spirit when weighing your samples.
How to Calculate the Volume of your spirit when weighing your samples is easy mathematics.
1. Weigh your bottle of spirit.
2. Weigh the empty container and calculate the net weight of spirit.
3. You will need to know the ABV, by hydometry etc.
4. Enter these into the calculator above.
Example of how the Calculation of the Volume of your spirit
Weight of Bottle of Spirit minus the bottle weighs 2.32 kg
The alcohol by volume (ABV) is 45%.
Therefore the lookup density is 939.54 kg/ m3 or 0.93854 kg/litre
And 2.32 / 0.93854 = 2.470 litres
Distillery History
First planted in 1999, the vines at Harris Organic Wines’ vineyard are created by hand - from the first budburst of Spring to the final pruning in grey winter,
the organic vineyard (where beautiful brandy begins) is carefully tended by Duncan.
Because the Harris Organic vineyard is managed using organic principles of viticulture, no pesticides or herbicidal chemicals are used on or around the vines, nor are the vines artificially fertilised.
The organic grapes are fermented into a special wine. Once finished the wine is pumped to the wood fired pot still.
Everything is done by hand at Harris Organic; from chopping the wood to most importantly, the labelling of the bottles;
this means there are no machine battered spirit bottles at Harris Organic – you could say that we are happy producers of “free range" spirits.
