## Description

This MCP server provides advanced enology tools to predict how quickly suspended solids will separate from wine. By applying Stokes' Law to particle size distribution, viscosity, and temperature, it helps winemakers optimize their production workflows. Use `predict_settling_time` to estimate time to target clarity, `calculate_fining_impact` to model bentonite effectiveness, `calculate_centrifuge_performance` for mechanical throughput, and `optimize_method_selection` to choose between gravity, centrifuge, or flotation based on speed or cost priorities.

## Tools

### calculate_centrifuge_performance
Estimates the processing capacity and speed when using mechanical centrifugation

### calculate_fining_impact
Predicts how much the clarification speed will increase if bentonite is added

### optimize_method_selection
Recommends the most efficient settling method based on the wine's current state

### predict_settling_time
Determines how long it will take for the wine to reach a specific clarity level

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take for my wine to reach a turbidity of 0.5 using gravity settling? The particle sizes are [10, 20, 30], viscosity is 1.2, and temperature is 20.
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the provided parameters, the estimated settling time to reach a turbidity of 0.5 using gravity is 48.5 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which method should I use if I need the fastest clarification possible? Particle sizes are [5, 15, 25], viscosity is 1.1, and temperature is 18.
```

**Response:** 
```
To achieve the fastest clarification, the recommended method is Centrifuge.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the impact of adding 5 units of bentonite to my wine?
```

**Response:** 
```
Adding 5 units of bentonite is estimated to increase the settling velocity by 2.5x and reduce total clarification time by 40%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does temperature affect the prediction?**
Temperature influences wine viscosity. As temperature increases, viscosity typically decreases, which accelerates the settling velocity of particles.

**Can I compare different settling methods?**
Yes, you can use `optimize_method_selection` to compare Gravity, Centrifuge, and Flotation based on whether you prioritize speed or cost.

**What is the purpose of the bentonite tool?**
The `calculate_fining_impact` tool predicts how much the clarification speed will increase when bentonite is added to the wine.
