"An easy way to understand what happens is to imagine mixing marbles and BBs together in a bowl.
They don't go anywhere one just fills the empty spaces in the other on a molecular level. If you were to separate by heat you would get two L again."

i can understand that but what do we do about it? how do we take it under consideration when we want to mix higher quantities of water and ethanol and still we want to be precise?

Oh sorry about that. To figure out how much go to the calculators page at brewhaus.com I think they have two. Its better to just get a broad range alcometer and measuiring cylinder. most folks do that.

You could try the homedistiller site. pretty much everyone is busy doing stuff right now but they will check in in a couple days. One of the old timers might know a conversion. Someone will see this post soon.
