Curiosity question:
with all-grain brewing, when 'mashing low' to obtain a more fermentable wort, are there generalized numbers for the relative amount of glucose, maltose, ... in the wort?​

Some brands/styles of DME include information like this:

If there were equivalent numbers for a 'typical' highly fermentable all-grain wort, it seems like one could determine the amount of sugar needed to adjust the DME to have a similar Maltotriose percentage.
 
Thanks guys for all of your help with this I appreciate it. I made another batch using Wyeast 1968 this time. I also went the extra step and made a starter with it. The brew started at 1.046 and finished at 1.010 after 10 days. I bottled yesterday and it smelled good and tasted good. In 10-14 days I'll give it a try. Didn't use the temperature controlled environment the temp controller didn't show up in time. It went from summer to winter here in Oregon this year so I didn't need it. One thing I was reading up on is cold crashing for clarity. I'll try this on the next batch and then on to experiment with lagers.

I bought an InkBird temp controller. Plugged it in and plugged a small personal heater in it. My closet in the hallway has always been between 65 and 70 depending on what windows are open and what time of the year it is So far, with using dry yeast, it has worked out perfect.
