So I have never tried a conversion before, but have got 2 programs that line roughly up (they are different though for some reason brewtarget vs beersmith). I am probably trying to change too many variables but here goes...
Anyway, original recipe:
And now I convert to 10.5L then reduce target ABV to 3.8-4% and then round numbers:
1.1kg Extra light dry extract
250g Carapils
1 pkt us-05
4g centennial @55min
4g centennial @35min
4g centennial @20min
4g centennial @5min
With this I get according to brewsmith:
1.039 SG
20.4 IBU
3.9 ABV
Thoughts? Opinions? Flying insults? =)
Anyway, original recipe:
And the author of the recipe suggested the following as an extract version:****5 Gallon Batch****
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Size: 6.57 gal
Estimated OG: 1.040 SG
Estimated Color: 3.9 SRM
Estimated IBU: 21.5 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.0 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amount
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.75 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
0.25 oz Centennial [9.50%] (55 min)
0.25 oz Centennial [9.50%] (35 min)
0.25 oz Cascade [7.80%] (20 min)
0.25 oz Cascade [7.80%] (5 min)
1 Pkgs Nottingham (Danstar #-) (Hydrated)
Mash at 150 degrees for 60 minutes.
Things are not lining up though: IBU is down, OG is up, timings of hops have changed. So I dont think this would be a great fit would it? I tried making a version more true to the originalBatch Size: 5.50 gal
