If you want to change the character of a finished beer or wort, you can mix it with water or another beer (dilute it) to get a mixture.  This is done with some very high gravity beers as well as many blended beers.  The dilution tool helps you determine the gravity of the mixture.

 

 

Using the Dilution Tool

oSelect the Dilution Tool from the Tools menu or ribbon.
oEnter the starting volume and gravity of the first beer being mixed
oSelect whether you are diluting with water or wort/beer and enter the volume and specific gravity of the dilution
oThe tool will show the total volume of the mixture and specific gravity of mixture
