Questions about Extracts.



Couple questions about using beer smith and adding grains.  It asked for a couple things I do not have or they supply on the website.

Yield
Potential SG

Dry Yield, Fine Grain Percent.

Course Fine Difference Percent

Moisture%

Poperties
Diastice Power Linter

Max in Batch Percent

Protein %

Then there is figuring the efficiency.

It asked for....

Efficiency in boiler.
OG in boiler

Efficiency in fermentor
Actual batch volume. 

I don't want to sound stupid but I'm a little confused.



 

What grains (maltster and variety) are you using and what websites are you checking?  You can usually get that info from a malt analysis provided by the maltster's website.

 

Homebrewers Outpost.

 

Beersmith should have pre set values for your malts and these wont change too drastically.  The lovibond rating on some grains does differ from maltster to maltster but the rest should stay fairly consistent.  If not then like Firepit says you can check with the maltster's website.



 

I ordered my ingredients to day for another Amber.   Only used 2 pounds of DME and all other grains.  Hope it turns out well.  My only issue is its almost time to go to full grain.  My equipment might not be able to handle this much grains.

That is not an issue- it is a blessing smile
