How to Calculate Proof Gallons
A concise guide to the US proof-gallon calculation.
Working method
This guide uses the same verified calculation engine as the corresponding Stillbench bench tool. Keep units consistent, use measured values, and treat the result as a production-planning estimate.
Verify before production
Temperature, instrument calibration, alcohol-volume contraction, local reporting rules, and operating conditions can affect production measurements. Verify the result using the procedures appropriate to your operation.
