Non-Malt Extract Efficiency

[raceskier]

Has anyone calculated mashing extract efficiency for any non-malt fermentables? I'm planning a yam ale. I have rough numbers of 20 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams of raw yam. I plan on baking the yam and then mashing it with 2 row. Any guesses on the extract efficiency?

From my experience I have seen a boost of a point or two on the Hydro but really will not impart too much additional brix.

I have a couple lists of SG and Brix of fruits that someone sent me..

http://www.brsquared.org/wine/ Click on "calculations/info" and you'll see couple links labeled "fruit data advanced" and "fruit data General."

Hope that helps!

At 20% carbs, you would get, at best, a point per pound of yams.

20% carbs = 1 point. - that is good to know. Thanks.
