I'm looking to do an all-grain Janet's Brown from JZ's BCS book (page 143). Below is the grist. Everything but the 2-row and Wheat Malt are listed as "steeping grains". I plan to mash them like I always do. The books lists the OG as 1.066, but BeerSmith and my own calcs show 1.074. Now if I exclude the steeping grains from the gravity contribution calculation it comes to 61, which is closer, but still a bit off. All ppp/gal figures are from BeerSmith. Where am I going wrong here?
Code:
Grain ppp/gal pounds Gravity Contribution
2-row 37 12 56.51
Wheat Malt 40 1 5.09
Cara-Pils 33 1.25 5.25
Caramel 40 34 1.25 5.41
Chocolate 420 35 0.5 2.23
gallons 5.5
efficiency 0.7
Total Gravity Points 74.49
