## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic toolset for distillers to manage alcohol concentration accuracy. Use `get_corrected_proof` to adjust hydrometer readings for temperature deviations using TTB-standardized logic. Identify your current distillation phase with `identify_distillation_stage`, or calculate precise volumes for heads, hearts, and tails using `calculate_cuts_volume`. You can also determine exact water requirements for bottling with `calculate_dilution_needs`.

## Tools

### calculate_cuts_volume
Calculates the specific volumes of heads, hearts, and tails produced from a total distillate volume

### calculate_dilution_needs
Determines how much water is required to dilute a high-proof spirit to a desired bottling strength

### get_corrected_proof
Calculates the accurate alcohol concentration and US proof by adjusting an observed hydrometer reading for temperature

### identify_distillation_stage
Determines which phase of distillation a liquid is likely in based on its concentration

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
My hydrometer reads 40% ABV at 75°F. What is the corrected US proof at 60°F?
```

**Response:** 
```
The corrected ABV is 40.8% and the US proof is 81.6.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 5 liters of distillate at 65% ABV. How much volume will be in my hearts cut?
```

**Response:** 
```
The hearts cut will be 3.25 liters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 2 liters of 80% ABV spirit. How much water do I need to add to reach 40% ABV?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need to add 2 liters of water to reach a final total volume of 4 liters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does temperature affect my hydrometer reading?**
Hydrometer readings change based on liquid density, which is affected by temperature. The `get_corrected_proof` tool adjusts your observed ABV to a standard calibration temperature to ensure accuracy.

**Can I calculate my cuts using this tool?**
Yes, by providing the total volume and ABV, `calculate_cuts_volume` provides the specific volumes for heads, hearts, and tails.

**How do I know if I am in a stripping run or a spirit run?**
The `identify_distillation_stage` tool analyzes your ABV to determine if you are in a stripping run (typically ~30% ABV) or a spirit run (typically 60-80% ABV).
