Types Of Grain

[melinda]

G'day Men,
I have a recipe that calls for crystal 140. On Beersmith it has SRM's and on the site where I order my grain it has EBU's. Can someone help me to work out what it all means. I know it has something to do with colour, but what does a grain that has 10L mean in relation to a SRM and an EBU? How does one convert between the two?
Cheers

L= degrees lovibond.

SRM = standard Reference method
EBC = European Brewery convention

SRM and Lovibond are pretty much the same although I think Lovibond is used to describe the malt and SRM the beer.

To get the equivalent EBC just multiply the SRM by 1.97 (2 is close enough)

Thanks. What if something is 10L? What is that in EBU's or SRM's

To change units in Beersmith go to Tools - Options - Units.

In beersmith L = SRM

10L = 10 SRM = ~20EBC

10L(SRM) = 19.7 EBC
