Mind blown

Was doing some random calculations and I realized that mashing at 1.5qts/lb is just about π (pi) l/kg.

I'd like to thank my mom, jesus, and all of you for this great accomplishment. I would like alcohol as a reward, preferably great sour beer. Thank you.

Either I'm bad and math, or I drank to much beer today, but I have no idea what you are talking about. LOL

That explains why pizza is so great with beer. Round pizza. None 'o that square stuff.

 

[BackAlley]

Does that prove the Greeks invented beer?

I no recreate

I get like 3.76 l/kg

I think you're close to pi, but when I did it I got 3.1295L/KG.

Thank God Im not the only one. I was laying in bed last night trying to get around 3.14 of this and couldnt pull it off... Here is the closest thing I can work out.

1.5qts =1.4L so thats a no go

So then working in reverse, 1kg = 2.2lbs So 1.5lbs x 2.2lbs (1kg) = 3.3

3.3qts = 3.12L

I really invested too much time into this...

Maybe a couple more decimals make it work? I was using online calculators that have like a gillion decimal places.

Would have been funnier to post this on March 14th. (3.14)

1.5 qt/lb is about 3.13 L/kg, which is very close to pi, yes.
