Hello brewers! Hope I'm doing this right as I didn't find any bug report form.

I noticed that the g/l unit of measure doesn't work in the Acid Addition tab of the Water Calc, spercifically while using 100% Citric Acid, although I suspect that might also not work with other acids or other concentration units of measure. By "doesn't work" I mean that the calculator is not taking into account any acid amount you might set with that unit of measure. I hope this small bug can get fixed easily and soon, Water Calc is a great tool and I think using concentration (g/l) rather than amount (g) makes things easier when you have to change water amounts on the spot. Cheers!

Are you using the standalone advanced water calc? I will take a look.

The one generated from and linked to the recipe, so not the standalone I guess. I think there wasn't even an option for concentration unit of measures in the past, but I've noticed it was added later and I wanted to use it. Thanks a lot, would be great!
 
Things seem to be working in my tests @Val89, can you provide the recipe you're using and a screenshot with the details so we can get to the root cause?

Sure! That's the mash chemistry page where I get the bug. Both from up-to-date Firefox under Windows 10 and from Chrome on my Android phone!

And that's the recipe page and edit recipe page. I hope you can access it even if I didn't make it public, otherwise I might need some directions on how to share it. I usually access the water calc page from the edit recipe page, making sure it's linked to that specific recipe.

And here's two screenshots from my phone. As you can see the mash pH is only affected by the acid addition when expressed in grams.

when your editing a recipe, just above the more square is the share button then save the recipe, hope that helps

What happens if you use a . instead of a , in the numbers? like: 5.4 or .27?

I did try that as some calculators used to be sensitive to the comma-dot difference (I believe they fixed that) and it didn't make any difference. I tried it right now to be sure and I can confirm it doesn't affect it, sadly. Thanks for the help tho!
