Hey All,
I have used the following recipe for a 2.5 gallon extract batch with a full 60 boil (just showing malts for now).
2.00# Light DME (53.3%)
0.25# Honey Malt (6.7%)
1.50# Honey (40.0%)
SG 1.064, SRM 6.3
I have read a bunch of posts on here about switching to all-grain and they pretty much don't say the old fashioned way of using pencil and paper but beer smith, so I downloaded a version for trial. I converted the recipe.
2.68# 2 Row (54.2%)
0.68# Honey Malt (13.7%)
1.59# Honey (32.1%)
Seems like they added a ton of Honey Malt in terms of the overall percentage. Just wondering if this seems like a fair comparison?
On a similar but different note, I would actually like to do a 5 gallon batch. How can I use Beer Smith to calculate the amount of wort to put in the kettle before boil, assuming about a half gallon is left in the carboy? So I guess the final size is actually 5.5 or still leave at 5 as I would get a higher gravity?
Thank you for your time,
Scot
