Ah ha. That explains the 50 liters. Thank you. I was letting my assumptions get in the way of the calculation.

Thanks Jobrag, but I need some clarification. Why is X + Y = 19 and not 18? And how did you get the second equation. When I put X = 19 - Y into the second equation (which I assume you meant this when you said to calculate both equations simultaneously) I ended up with X=50.08. cheers

I am trying to figure out the following in my beer brewing. I have been able to find equations for mixing two quantities of water, but not three. Can anyone help me out here? So, I have 5 liters at 100 C and I want to add 18 liters (x at 20 C and y at 8 C) to arrive at 23 liters at 24 C. This...
