I was reading a post in a different thread about recipes, and I came across this clone recipe for Stone's Imperial Black IPA:
Ingredients Amount Item Type % or IBU
15.80 lb 2 Row (2.0 SRM) Grain 79.0 %
1.60 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 8.0 %
0.80 lb Carafa III (525.0 SRM) Grain 4.0 %
0.80 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 4.0 %
Now, I understand the measurements of grain and their names (i.e. 15.80 Lb 2 row), but I am confused as to what SRM is and what the percentages mean? Also for the Caramel/Crystal Malt, what does "80L" mean?
Thanks ya'll.
