DistilCalc

40 free distilling calculators, audited against NIST

DistilCalc launched on August 18, 2026 with 1 votes, #11,494 of 23,274 launches that month.

What it does

DistilCalc is a free suite of 40 calculators and 41 guides for home distillers, mead makers, and fermenters. Dilution, cuts planning, temperature correction, yeast pitch rates, nutrient dosing, priming, mash steps, and three still simulators built on real vapor-liquid equilibrium data. No signup, no paywall, works offline. In August 2026 every formula was audited against primary sources (NIST Circular 19, OIML R 22, ICUMSA, the TOSNA protocol) and the audit is public on the methodology page.

Free distilling calculators for dilution, cuts, gravity, nutrients and priming. Every formula computed from OIML, NBS and TTB primary sources, and shown.

Every formula on this site is computed from a named primary source, and every page tells you which one. Here is one, working, right now. How a pot still run divides, to scale. Foreshots are sized from the charge, not from what you collect: 2.5 mL per litre, 25 mL minimum. Size yours → OIML R 22 for alcoholometry, NBS Circular 19 for temperature correction, TTB 27 CFR 30.11 for proof. Not a forum post that cited a forum post. Each page states its formula and where it stops being accurate. A calculator that hides its assumptions is asking to be trusted blindly. The site, the offline app and the printed guide are generated from the same formula library, so two DistilCalc tools never…from distilcalc.com

    Over the past few months, I have built a distillation toolkit that supports cross-tokenizer distillation (e.g., distilling from LLaMA to Qwen vocab, or others). This approach has worked well on reasoning datasets like AIME, and we’ve validated on models like Phi and Qwen. We’ve also integrated Modal for quick deployment (with $30/month credits to try it out). Would love any feedback!

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
