Making the Switch To Metric!
|
|
Who's with me????
I just realized how much easier it is if I change all of my measurements into metric.
Especially hops, if I need to adjust for Alpha Acid content I scale it using beer smith and then it gives me a workable (and accurate) amount.

I don't see how it's easier (or more accurate) one way or the other. Just different constants in the equations.

1 gram = .0353 ounces
I guess your right about the accuracy (except I round more often with ounces) but its a lot easier to look at.... |

I'm all for it. Metric is much easier
1L of Water = 1kg
Have you ever tried to measure 1.6lbs of grain on a US LBS scale? Its a pain.
1.6kg on a kg scale is much easier.
I don't know the formulas but its much easier to calculate thermal mass and mashtun heat absorption if you use Celsius, Liters and Kg.
