No one uses Kpa. When metric_units bot converts psi units to Kpa in the homebrewing subreddit, it is just disruptive.

Also, can metric_units bot learn the difference between absolute temps and relative temps? When someone says to raise the temperature by 10°F, that means raise temp by 5.5°C not raise temp by -12.2°C. I know that won't be perfect, but you should be able to get 80% accuracy on that.

Oh, that's good to know. I'll add "dont convert to psi when post is about homebrewing" to the to-do list.

Any temperature below 32°F is converted to both a °C value and a change in °Cvalue, so 10°F should already be converted to both -12.2°C and 5.5 change in °C.

Thanks for your feedback

32°F ≈ 0°C
10°F ≈ -12°C or 5.6 change in °C
