Grain bill amount

fivepointslow · Dec 5, 2014

I have the grain bill with percentages of each grain. It's for a dark truth stout clone. Boulevard actually gave the bill to me. I just don't know how much grain over all for the brew. Any advice?

Oh it's for a 5 gallon batch.

I would plug the ingredients into beersmith adding the quantities in the correct proportions and not worry about quantity, then use the "Adj. Gravity" button to try and hit an OG of 1.087. Beersmith will scale the ingredient quantities to get the target gravity for your batch size.

Just got beer smith. Don't really know how to use it. Which tab would I use?

Here's a quick video tutorial on creating a recipe in beersmith. This is for the older version of beersmith but the basics are the same. Click on "add recipe" in the top left corner to get started.

Hello · Dec 5, 2014

What percentages did they give you?
Also, be sure to input your equipment profile into BeerSmith.

I did some research and I came up with 19lbs...

I would ask how much of the sugars to add. Or figure the grain bill on no extra sugars, take preboil gravity reading, calculate, add sugar to get right gravity if you missed your mark.

Yeah, the sugar percentages would be very nice to know since they contribute to the starting gravity.

I haven't brewed an all grain stout yet and was wondering if it's typical of the style to have such a high percentage of the grain bill being specialty malts. It looks like over %30 in this recipe.

I hope my local brew store has everything I need. Should be around 10oz brown sugar and 6 dark brown sugar. I will get beer smith in my computer tonight and build this recipe and see what happens. And I will report back in like 12 weeks with a flavor profile.
