How does BS calculate oz of priming sugar to use?  Does it use bottling volume or batch volume?

Hi,
  It uses estimated bottling volume. 

  There is a request to use actual bottling volume (or allow both) - I hope to incorporate this in a future update.

Thanks, I was able to get my calculation to work.  I forgot to incorporate bottling temperature.

Thanks.

I personally would like to see the calculation based on actual bottling volume or given "Measured Bottling Vol".

We do have a field to enter "Measured Bottling Vol" so arguably this may be easier to get a calculation than changing numbers in the equipment profile for each recipe. Initially it could _default_ to what the "Est Bottling Vol" is, but that calculation would change if the user inputted the measured bottling volume.
