Loony bin and crazy ideas

The R squared values for both curves show excellent correlation.

Instead of a lookup table, just have a cell in your spreadsheet where you enter the temperature (x value). Then have a second cell with your equation in it that uses the value entered in the temperature cell to solve for y, and displays that solution as abv.

How about preheating a Carter Head with a hot air gun to avoid that initial buildup of condensate?

You might loose your volatiles if you're not careful.
Insulation would be first on the list.

Loose volatiles are easily tightened up with the right kind of wrench...

kimbodious

once they get a certain age no wrench is going to tighten those volatiles unless it is particularly cold

I don't know what the problem is. I like my volatiles loose

You'd have condensation on the walls of the carter head through the whole run, not just at startup. I second insulation being more effective than preheating.

If you wanted to get fancy, you could probably get a small silicone heating pad element and push a couple watts into it. You would probably never see any kind of payback on the mod though, it's going to be so inconsequential.

Volatiles are like stools;

better tight.

Finally worked out what you losers are on about :)

hey I resemble that insinuation!

I can see how my frenetic spelling might be misinterpreted.
