Hello everyone
i am david from Spain first i want to say sorry if i have mistakes writing in english.
the reason i am writing this post whit the doubts i have becausei have several doubts about diastatic power, % protein in malt etc etc.
so first how can i calculate the diastatic power and how to use it with a recipe? because if a want to brew a wheat beer with some adjuncts you should be know it because it can give you the information how much 2 row or 6 row malts you can use with the raw corn or wheat or whatever. And also you can adjust the amount of grain and save money . because if you open a business i think is what you need to do.
also because i want to use this information to introduce in the beer smith.
The second one is about the % of protein in the malt if you brewed a beer with a malt and this malt had 10% of protein and the second brew have 12%. how do i know if i have to do a rest of protein at the temperature of 55ºC and how long i have to leave this rest?
also about the calculation of hop oils, because i read a recipe where the brewer talked about:
Alpha acids:
humulone 40-80%
cohumulone 14-50%
adhumulone 5-15%
cohumulone harshness
can start at levels over 30%
So if the brewer use this hop data is because after will be better to reproduce the recipe. so i would like if someone know about all these doubts and can help me how to use before and after a recipe. Or with some good advance books where they explain it well, using as well a recipe like explanation or something.
i want to know how to use all this information and calculate together to add to the beer smith software and i think after will be easer to reproduce the recipe if you know to calculate it and after if you have to change something in the recipe with another malts or hops you can do it.
because when you use beersmith you have all the information about malts and hops and those data can change so if someone can help me
HELP!!!! and Sorry for my english again, i hope i explained it to you well what i am looking for and thank you so much to everyone in advances PEACE!
