Breaking down this recipe!

[Beeskneesbrew]

Can anyone break this down into a 6 gallon batch. Not sure how to calculate from a percentage to pounds and oz's,

Much thanks,
Matt

Kind of hard to w/o an efficiency number to work with. I can run it through BS2 for you but it might be screwed up w/o that info.

How about 70ish?

You first need to know your efficiency percentage like Copbrew133 said. Also you will probably get a somewhat lower efficiency because of the high gravity beer. Anyways once you know that you can determine the total weight of goods needed to hit the OG and do some simple math from there for the individual ingredients.

Based on a basic starting default efficiency of 75% and then deducting 10% for the big gravity you could try something like this:

Six Gallons US

18 lbs pils malt

.375 lb Aromatic malt

.375 Wheat malt

1.5 lbs sugar

.75 lbs honey

1.5 oz Tettnanger @ 60 min

.5 oz Saaz @ 5 min

The IBU's are low for the style, but this should put you almost exactly right for the malt weights and %'s.

Also the honey and sugar ended listed seperate from malts (don't know why) but percentages were right to get ESTIMATED 1.087. Thats a good point on the loss of efficiency on the large batch. May have to dial this one in over a couple sessions.
