Just interested to hear opinions. Currently I use Beersmith for recipe formulation. When calculating salt additions I've bounced between Beersmith and Brewers Friend Advanced Chemistry Calculators. The numbers come out a bit different. Wondering if its a better idea to use the in-program calculator, or if anyone has opinions about their accuracy respectively.

The correct answer would be to use molar math and actually calculate the additions based on specific chemical compounds (MgSO4, CaCl2*6H2O, Etc), and the actual mass of water (not volume, since that is temperature dependent). If you are concerned enough to worry about the different calculators, this should be your most obvious answer. I don't trust most calculators, lol.
