Made a nice golden ale yesterday and I was puzzled to find that my OG calculation was off considerably. I was expecting 1.064 and ended up with 1.044.
I was hoping someone could tell me what the yield numbers are for 2 row malt and Dextrine(carapils). I'm sure that I miss calculated. I know that LME and DME are roughly 40/pts/lb/gal. And I have used this in the past and it is very accurate.
I suppose my mistake was assuming that the grain was about the same. I steep grains for 20 min and use extract, so I factor all the fermentables into my calculations. As I said before OG are usually right on
