powder calculator wrong or am i stupid?

[Soldiaz1]

Hey guys,

first of all i want to say thx for the nice info here!

i wanted to calculate my brew by myself and when i was doing that, i found out, that the calculator gives wrong data. (?)

here is how i calculate my receipe:
FOR example :EQ

i want to come up with 25ml @ 400mg/ml

i need 10 gram of powder
3% BA
15% BB
and the rest to 25 ml GSO.

so now, i want to calculate the powder in ml .
therefor i take the density of the powder:

10gr EQ = 11,8 ml , because of the poweder weight of 0,85

10 gr : 0.85 = 11,8 ml in the scala

i divide it with the powder weight

In the receipes in the stickys it is obviously
10 x 0,85 = 8,5 ml which would give a wrong calculation for the rest oil you have to fill up.

I hope you get it. Sorry for my bad english!

So my question ist; do i have to divide or multiply the 10 gr with 0,85?

EQ is a liquid at room temp.

Not sure what why your trying to figure out ml's. But maybe this can help

Thanks for you quick awnsers,
But my question is still unawnswerd.
EQ was maybe a bad example, it is the same for every powder. And You right, eq is liquid.

10 gramns of EQ with a powder weight of .85 comes to 11,8 ml ( this is right , isnt it ???)
This makes sence to me becauae when you want to calculate the amount of weight in ML / CC you have to do it like that :
10 : 0.85 = 11,8 ml

in the rexeipes in the stickys and with the calculator you have the following
Calculation:
10 x 0.85 = 8,5 ml

Which would be a difference of 3,3 ml, which would be come to too much oil.

The EQ receioe in the stickys is so not 333 mg / ml but less , because its 3,3 ml ( when the amount is 10 gr powder ) too much oil in it .

Hope you understand me,
So plz : help !

Lg!
