Planning a brew for next sunday and I'm lost about srm, lovibonds and ebc.
I bought all my grains and found out that I have a HUGE difference in srm between my grains and the default one used in beersmith.
On the bag of my roasted barley, it's written 637 L which is about 860 srm (beersmith = 300 srm)
Same thing for my chocolate malt at 490 L which is 660 srm. Again, beersmith default setting is 450 srm.
I did a search and came up on this thread :

The op stated at the end of it that he ruined is batch by taking into account that his grains were more roasted than beersmith. What should I do now ?? I'm lost. According to beersmith, I should have 3% each of roasted barley and chocoloate malt for a 5.5 gallons brew to get into right color range of a stout. What do you think ?
