Hi All,
I am new to brewing (just made my second batch yesterday) and also new to Beersmith. My first batch was from a Brewers Best kit and the second was a Hefe that my LHBS helped me put togeather. Both used Thomas Coopers Malt Extract which isn't an ingredient that is standard to Beersmith. Can someone please help with some of the information needed. The first recipie used the Coopers Plain Light Malt Extract and the second used the Coopers Wheat Malt Extract. How do I determine the following numbers for each of these extracts:
1. Potential SG - The program shows 1.035 but I am assuming this is the default
2. Hop Alpha - The program shows 5% but again I am assuming this is the default as I don't believe either are hopped.
3. Color - The program shows SRM as the unit of measure. The cans both show EBC as the unit of measure. The Plain was 3.0 and the Wheat was 6.5.
Thanks,
Mike
