MeadTools came to me as an idea to help my mead making community while simultaneously kickstarting a new career in software development. There are several other tools to assist in mead making, but most are confusing to beginners, or, in my opinion incomplete. My hope is that MeadTools solves these issues.
Below I have listed all of the resources that I used in the creation of MeadTools as well as additional mead making resources. I can’t thank my personal mead community enough for making this project possible. I can be found on discord in the Doin’ the Most and Man Made Mead Mazer servers. My user name is larry_r. There is also a brand new MeadTools discord. I can be contacted through the contact page, linked on the bottom bar directly at contact@meadtools.com.
MeadTools is completely open source under a MIT license, so if you want to check out the code, please have a look over on GitHub. If you use any of the code for anything fun, I just ask that you share it with me and the rest of the mead making community.
- Almost all of the ingredient data was gathered from the USDA FoodData Central
- ABV formula was taken from
- This Zymergy Article
- Important reading on ABV can be found from the person that gave MeadTools it’s name: On Calculating ABV
- Yeast Information
- Nutrient schedule and requirement information
- Sorbate and Sulfite information as well as SO many other things
- Hydrometer Temperature Correction
- Refractometer calculator
- Calculating OG without reading
- General inspiration
- Ash and StormBeforeDawn from the Mead Hall discord
To the entire mead making community, for all of the help, inspiration, and knowledge I have gained over the past 4 years
Thank you
