The TTB's Table No. 6 is a resource used by distillers to determine the legal proof of any given GNS. The chart below demonstrates that as proof increases, Water and Alcohol have an inverse relationship.

While Shrink isn't listed in the original PDF, we can use the information to calculate how much shrink will occur when two GNS' are combined.
