Is "Total Batch Weights" incorrect/bugged for anyone else?

[Ham Sammy]

All of my recipes are not adding up to the correct sum for my recipes... Is this happening for anyone else? Thank you

Are you using one of the apps or the site version? Can you give us a screenshot or explanation of how it’s incorrect?

Site version... I have total batch weight set to 5000 grams (it happens with any total) and the total batch weight shows 6145.59 g.


Doing the math manually of adding liquid, NaOH weight, Oil Weight and Fragrance weight:

936.22 g Liqud + 468.04 g NaOH + 3491.01 g Oil Weight + 104.73 g Fragrance Weight should show exactly 5000 g Total Batch Weight (ignoring 52.37 g salt and 104.73 g sugar)

Thank you!

You have it set to both resize by the size of your mold and also by 5000 g of oils. Can you try using one or the other?

 

[Ham Sammy]

with "resize your recipe to fit mold size" off, it's asking me for total oil weight.

with "resize your recipe to fit mold size" on, I have either the choice of "by dimensions" or "by total size", and it's asking me for "total size" weight in grams, which is how I wanted to use the calculator.

I'm seeking to have my total batch weight equal 5000, with "resize your recipe to fit mold size" on. Everything is correct (The sum of the red circled values equal 5000 exactly) , except it shows the wrong sum for "total batch weight" (Green circle shows 6145.59)

Can you give list of ingredients and it amount?

I have the same problem. Numbers addition doesnt equal the total batch weight

Your recipes not related to this issue. This issue requires your recipe set total batch weight in specific amount.

Ok then? I have 19,6 kg of soap to make today. Could the total batch weight be right please?

19,45kg is your expect. Right?

Hi @Ham Sammy,

Are you using any custom additives? I noticed yesterday (and could confirm this morning) that when I use the site version, the weight of every custom additive is shown correctly in the "custom additives" pane, but is doubled for the purposes of computing the Total Batch Weight.

For example, if I use a custom additive of 6 Tbsp of kaolin clay, that will show up in "Custom Additives" as 6 Tbsp (of volume) and 90 g of weight, which is correct assuming a density of 1 g/mL, but the "Total Batch Weight" will jump up by 180 g.

I'm working around this using pen and paper on my printouts, but it should be easily enough fixable.

THIS! Is exactly what's going on. I ended up calculated my honey appart....

Hello, @Alan I'm sorry for the late reply.

The patch seemed to have made the problem worse, because the ingredient weights do not add up to 5000g anymore. Before the patch, the ingredient weights added up to 5000, and the error was the "total batch weight" showing 6145.59.

Now the ingredient weights add up to 3446.99, but the "total batch weight" now incorrectly shows exactly 5000g.

 

[Alan]

Thank you for reporting. We've reverted changes and working on other solution for this.

 

[Alan]

We've released new patch on this issues. Can you check your recipes? @Ham Sammy @NathCo

 

[Ham Sammy]

Seems to work perfectly now!! Even includes the additives in the 5000g, which it used to ignore, I think.

Thank you so much @Alan

I used to face the same, but it's fixed now from what I can see.

However, there's still a bug with the total batch weight, see attached photo below.

When there's something added in the Custom Liquids section, the calculator just ignores it and it's absent from the Total Batch Weight. This is a sample recipe written a couple of minutes ago.

Can you show full your recipe settings?
