Hey All,
I am switching over to all-grain and trying to convert some of my favorite recipes over. Seems to be more challenging than expected. I have a recipe that uses four pounds of dry wheat extract. I threw it into beer smith and it gave me back 4.12# two row and 2.59# wheat at 70% efficiency.
I thought that the DWE was 55%/45% malt to wheat and was expecting the conversion to be in that range somewhere but this is about 60/40 (a little bit more if you do the calculations, but close enough). Does this sound right?
Also, while on wheat, when doing the mash will the create any possible clogging problems getting the wort? If so, how do I counter that?
Thank you for your time and help,
Scot
