Brewsmith grains list

Post by FrankB » Wed Oct 28, 2015 9:39 am

I'm trying to convert partial mash to all-grain recipes. I'm using Brewsmith 2.2.
My question is, what are High Malt Liquid Glucose and Light Liquid Unhopped Malt Extract equivalent to in the list of grains?

Likely Pilsen or 2 row. I would keep it simple and use one or the other and your specialty grains to start. Get your process together and work from there.

If your using a laugher yeast I'd lean to Pilsen, with an ale 2 row.

Sorry for the confusion.
I need to find out what syrups are the same in order to do the conversion.
For example, one of the recipes is a Noble Grape partial called Canadian Ale. The list is:
200g dexrin malt - easy enough, 200g cara-pils
2.3kg light liquid unhopped malt extract - not sure what syrup is the same in brewsmith
700g high malt glucose - again, unsure
18g cascade boil hops
8g cascade finish hops

I don't use Beersmith, but rather some freeware called HomeBrew Formulator. But ...

It has the following entries in it's Fermentables database:
1. Light Malt Extract Syrup, Potential OG = 1.034, Malt Yield percentage = 73.9130435, SRM = 2, Mash = NO
2. Dextrose (Glucose), Poential OG = 1.037, Malt Yield percentage = 80.4347826, SRM = 1, Mash = NO

Compare these to some of the numbers in the BeerSmith grain list and you may find something equivalent.

Thanks for the responses. From what I can gather, ajcarp & sandy, you're spot on. If I really want to make things hard, I can use flaked corn in place of glucose. I'm thinking that I'm over-thinking this and it may be best to just make a new recipe that I like rather than try to duplicate one that I know like. At least I'm aware of what the target is.

You may want to contact a Truro area brewer and do a brew day with them.

You get to see the process but with gear that's not yours.
