Ratio Of Grain To Husk Of Barly Malt ?

The starchy part of the endosperm in barley malt can be up to 80% of the dry weight with the rest being protein, non-starch carbohydrates, the dead embryo at the proximal end of the grain, and the palea and lemma that make up the husk.

OK

I was just trying to work out a good ratio of rice gulls to wheat malt to use tommorrow.

so say 80% starch and some protein, other little bits that leaves about 10% i recon.

so 100g/kg of wheat should give me the same sort of ratio as i get with an all barly grist.

In using 7KG of weyermann pale wheat malt so 700G of 7 liters (they are about the same) is going in.

cheers
