It would be much easier and make sense to base the carbonation level off the actual measured bottling volume. I can look at my carboy and see what that's going to be.
With some people lying about batch size to get the estimated gravity to match up with actual mash efficiency it has to really be screwing up their carbonation levels.
I seem to be lying about efficiency, claiming it is much better than it is, to get my predicted gravity to come out and it still doesn't come out with the right bottling volume for me all the time.
On this particular brew it took a long time of messing with assorted lies and guesses to get the estimated gravity and batch size to match up to actual.
If it wasn't for trying to get an average for new brew pot I wouldn't be doing it.
I definitely don't want to have to take all these measurements for every brew and then bounce around trying different lies to make things come out right.
It kind of removes the usefulness of using brewing software.
It would also be nice to put in the actual carbonation used and have the calculator figure it the other way like 1 had. In 2 I have to add the actual amount used to the notes because you can't add anything to the actual amount used.
