Lyle's Golden Syrup- Percent Yield

menschmaschine said:

Brewing the ol' Hen tomorrow from Orfy's recipe. I'm trying to adjust it in Promash for my efficiency and batch size. I was fortunate enough to stumble across a UK Goods store nearby that only does internet sales, but they were good enough to hand me a couple tins of Lyle's Golden Syrup. Promash doesn't have Golden Syrup as one of the sugar selections. Does anyone know it's percent yield? I assume this means what percent of it is fermentable? I initially thought it would be 100%, but Promash shows demerara sugar as 89.81% and various yields for other sugars/syrups that aren't 100%. Thanks!

Does promash have "Invert Sugar" listed? That's all it is.

Beersmith shows it as 100% at a potential of 1.046.

Thanks BierMuncher... except... that ale being served in a pilsner glass, what's up with that?... you're as bad as those pubs that serve lagers in pint glasses!

Trust me...after I polished that off, I had it filled with four different varieties before the end of the evening.

Gotta use the same glass so SWMBO doesn't start keeping track...
