lme to dme

[kjones]

if a recipe calls for 6# golden lme what would its dme equivilant be?

 

[homebrewer_99]

1 lb Grain = .75 LME = .6 lb DME...I have a chart if you email me I can email it to you: [email protected]

Multiply your LME by .8

6 X .8 = 4.8 lbs DME

As you can see, the numbers don't stay where they're supposed to...the 1st is grain, the 2d LME and the 3rd DME...

kjones,

Yes, 4.8Lbs is the answer.

There is 20% difference between LME and DME.
the 'LIQUID' in 'L'ME, being water, weighs more, +20%.
The DRIED in DME is well...
dried so 'it don't weigh as much'.
Lme is =20% more by weight than DME.

Mein 'acht pfund Hammerbier' is made with 8 Lbs of DME.
With speciality grain steeped in, and it is 6 3/4% alcohol.
A recipe for 6 Lbs of LME is not much better than 3.2 beer.
