Castle Malting Addon - Wrong SG Calculation?

bassclefbrewing · Sep 16, 2015

Has anybody used the Castle Malting (English) Add-on in beer smith? I'm making a Belgian Dubbel and I'm not sure the potential S.G. is in there correctly.

For example it says castle malting's Munich malt only has a potential SG of 1.000. It's a base malt...that can't be right. Plus the colors are all different than they are at my LHBS. The Castle Malting munich at my LHBS is 5.5 SRM...but 12.7 SRM in Beersmith?

I don't even see a Castle Malting addon in BS that's in english. I see one in belgian (which I use, but doesn't have munich) and one in portuguese.

Regardless, you can manually adjust those values based on your own research and then you can feel confident in the values. I've had to do this with many ingredients.

This was first reported at the beginning of September, this year.

Attached is an updated list of malt specs for Castle. It's based on their website: http://www.castlemalting.com/CastleMaltingMalts.asp?Language=English

Be sure to check availability with your supplier, since they don't export all products to all regions.
