I'm up to my 4th partial mash,& I'm working with a recipe from a member in Ireland for his dark lager in BS2. I classified it under American Dark Lager.
Among other things,the recipe uses a 1.7kg can of Thomas Cooper's Selection Heritage Lager. Cooper's lists the color as 90EBC,but Beersmith2 uses SRM. How do I convert this?
Not to mention,it lists it's bitternes as 390IBU,which is in it's concentrated form. Trying to make up my mind how to convert this so BS2 will use it correctly?
It also had some steeping grains,1.74oz carahell,3.5oz chocolate malt. I added .5lb Weyerman's smoked malt for a sort of micro mash. It also has 2.2lbs of extra light DME in it.
As of today when I took the 1st FG test,no smoke flavor could be detected. The sample in the hydrometer tube (the one it came in mind you) looked like it might be brown. Maybe in the glass it'll look dark,almost black like his.
It is a bit cloudy/misty yet,even at 1.012 gravity with the WL029 yeast.
So I'm in BS2 raising some grain amounts & such to get it where I want it.
