McDantim Calculators (updated 02/17/11)

• Easy Blend* - Use to determine the correct CO2/N2 blend.
• Easy Volumes* - Use to determine what CO2 vol/vols your beer will become.
• Easy Pressure* - Use to determine what PSIG to use based on your CO2/N2 blend.
• Acceptable Range - Use to view the acceptable range for various conditions.

* Easy Blend, Easy Volumes & Easy Pressure available on mobile devices at mcdantim.mobi.

The values generated by these programs represent our best effort to be accurate.  Calculated gas blends are accurate within 1% and vol./vol. values match existing charts within 0.05 vols. or less.  Changes due to ABV are the least understood and most likely to be in error at extreme values.

These calculators are intended to be used within the range of typical temperatures, pressures, and alcohol content found in the draught beer industry today.  Extreme examples will most likely give less accurate results.

NOTE: This calculator is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. You will need to have Microsoft Excel or a similar program installed on your PC in order to use this calculator.
