Having a brain fart at this moment. What is the formula to convert DME weight to grain weight ? Specifically 5 ibs DME is = to how many pounds pale malt ?
I believe that DME yields 45 points and grain can yield 36 points. But grain has an mash efficiency factor that you could assume is 75%. That brings grain down to 27. So 5 X 45 = 230. And 230 / 27 = 8.3. I am sure others will jump in and check my figures. Good luck, Mike
