Thank you sir, that is immensely helpful, I'll definitely use this when we start analyzing with it here in the near future.

Agreed 100%, that was the way it was done when I got here, also me being the one that does it most of the time. We are actually purchasing a Mettler Toldedo DM40. It is one large price tag, but it is, as you said, going to make life a lot easier.

I'm new here, you would know better than I would. I appreciate the help, thank you.

Guys and Gals, My name is Cory, I am a TTB certified chemist in Michigan and wanted to jump in here to let people know that I'm available as a resource for all your testing needs, if so required. I can test anything from ABV on beer, wine, or distilled spirits, to Hops (alpha, beta...
