Grain extract potential help please.

[Snood]

Hey Folks.

I'm planning a new recipe and had to contact a maltster to get some data which they haven't published about one of their malts. They have provided me with the following information.

What i'm struggling to figure out is the extract potential of the grain. I guess i want to be working with the extract (dry basis) figure but it's given as a percentage. Does anyone know how I can convert this into either SG, PPG, or LDK?

Apologies for the formatting of the data.

Good question.

This link explains it but for quick reference:

46.31 * %Extract = Points per Pound per Gallon

This equates to 35.6587 PPG.

Not quite.

The data sheet gives the extract as dry basis, but also states it has up to 5% moisture.
To account of the moisture, you need to multiply the result by 0.95, so you would get 46.31 * 0.77 * 0.95 = 33.9

-a.

Thank you very much chaps! That's just the information I needed.
