NOTE: If you are using Windows 95 and the text of the JAVA programs does not fit properly into the gray areas, then you need to change your font properties to small vice large.
Equations for the Beer Analysis and Specific Gravity Correction portions of the JAVA calculators were taken from the "Brew by the Numbers" article in the Summer 1995 issue of Zymurgy.
