Supports the calculation layer of the blending protocol. Numerical formulas should be independently checked before publication or operational use. Fresh full-page audit: PDF183–185 contains input-versus-final-proof tolerance confusion, an 82.5/80.52 discrepancy, and reversed warm-water volume adjustment. Retain measurement principles, exclude its numerical procedure.
Worked explanation of proof gallons, weight-based practice, temperature correction, and volume contraction.
Proofing and blending calculations must account for alcohol quantity, component proof, temperature conventions, and the fact that alcohol–water mixtures can contract; simple volume addition is not always an adequate final accounting method.
