OK, I'm doing 5 gallon batches, and will probably stick with this for the next year or so. I want to dream up my own recipes, but I'm not sure how much malt is needed for my beers. I would like them to be at least 5% ABV, no more than 6. I'm doing extract right now, but I just ordered a turkey fryer, cooler and some copper tubing so I'm about to get into AG.
1. Is there an average or something I should use for my base calculations?
2. As far as extract, is there a difference in light, dark, wheat malts when calculating how much to use?
3. As far as AG goes, is there a difference in, well, light, dark, wheat malts when calculating how much to use?
