Default Another Winemaking Calculator

Thanks Steve. I particularly appreciate that you've revealed the
formulas underlying the calculations - that's often not the case. In
terms of the actual calculations, you'll most likely get some flak for
PA - that's a hot button topic for many people. I've never seen that
Balling formula - a quick Google search came up with some references
but all in the context of beer?
