Then I adjust the recipe to get a 10% average of specialty malts or less. <br /><br />Of course the only way to tell if you nailed a recipe is to brew it and get feedback from some friends like I do.Vince Feminellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253116271729372218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025772368054857903.post-13754997919541209512011-04-29T14:00:41.535-04:002011-04-29T14:00:41.535-04:00Screwy, do you have a calculator that calculates t...Screwy, do you have a calculator that calculates the amount of grains needed for 2.5, 5, and 10 gallon batches? I have been trying to find this out forever. Say I want to brew a 5 gallon pale ale, but I am not sure how many pounds of grains I should use. Usually base malt to specialty malt for brewing beers would be 80/20 unless I am mistaken. Anyway, I want to brew a 5 gallon pale ale, is there a calculator that will tell me how much base malt and how much specialty malt I should be using, and a total amount of grains I should be using for a 5 gallon brew?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025772368054857903.post-45967015735417633792011-04-25T07:43:32.626-04:002011-04-25T07:43:32.626-04:00I'm glad I'm not the only one with this ty...I'm glad I'm not the only one with this type of mess. I made a Maibock and had to clean up three times. It was only after I racked to secondaries that things calmed down. I should have saved the yest, but I'm too lazy.The Golden Whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140361465645061952noreply@blogger.com
