FermCalc Enhancements

New Features in 2011

New Alcohol Content Calculations - Several new methods of calculating alcohol content have been added to the various Alcohol Content calculation panels.
New OIML Calculator - A new calculator for calculating alcohol content from distillate density using the OIML formula was added to the Alcohol Content calculations panel.
Refractive Index Conversions - A new tab was added to the Conversions panel for converting between different refractometer reading units.
Improved Consistency in Specific Gravity and Density Assumptions - All of the calculations on the Sugar and Alcohol tabs now assume a reference temperature of 20°C.
New Specific Gravity and Acidity Units - All of the specific gravity drop-down lists now include Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (KMW), and the acidity drop down lists now include mEq/L.

New Features in 2010

Download Option - FermCalc can now be downloaded and installed on your computer as a standalone application for offline use.
Miscellaneous Additive Calculations - A new calculation panel was added with a dry weight to volume calculator, a stock solution calculator, and a miscellaneous additions calculator.
Concentration Unit Conversions - A new tab was added to the Conversions panel for converting between various units of concentration.
Concentrate Option - Concentrate was added as a sweetener option on the Sugar Requirements panel. This works just like the honey option, but specifies concentrate amounts in volumes instead of weights.
New Deacidifier Option - Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) was added as a deacidifier option on the Acid Calculations panel.

New Features in 2009

Honey Calculations - For the mead makers out there, honey was added as a sweetener option on the Sugar Requirements panel.
Titration Calculations - On the Acidity Calculations panel you can now calculate titratable acidity (TA) from the results of a titration with NaOH.
SO2 Equilibrium Constant Entry - For those who want complete control over their sulfite calculations, you can now change the SO2 equilibrium constant that's used in the calculations on the Sulfite Additions panel.
Alcohol Content by the Hydrometer & Refractometer Method - An option to calculate alcohol content from hydrometer and refractometer readings was added to the Alcohol Content Calculations panel.
Alcohol Content by the Boiling Off Method - An option to calculate alcohol content from hydrometer readings before and after boiling off the alcohol was added to the Alcohol Content Calculations panel.
Improved International Number Format Support - Locales that use commas instead of periods as decimals are now supported.
Improved Documentation - The online documentation of the calculations has been expanded and improved.
