Hi everyone. I was looking at and comparing some of the free, online water calculators for BIAB. Seems there is a lot of variance and I tested 5 different ones with specific, basic controls so that I was comparing apples to apples.
I have no idea of knowing which one is most accurate, nor do I know if it even matters. I'm trying to hit my calculations somewhere in the middle. However, it got me thinking.. I'm wondering if there is a way to crowdsource the knowledge? If so, I'd be willing to participate. Anyone have any thoughts on a crowdsourced effort? I would be happy to help if there was interest.
in any case, below is a comparison of 5 different online calculation tools that I found... Like I said, I dont know if the variance makes a hill-o'beans difference in the final output, but I'd like to know the difference of using a higher water calc versus a lower calc.
here is my comparison: https://docs.google.com/presentatio...oM4bY/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
thoughts?
