Hey all,

I plan on brewing the Surly Bitter Brewer Clone in about two weeks and really want to enter this recipe into BeerSmith. The only problem I am running into some trouble finding the Specs on a lot of the grains involved in the brew. I am not sure if the Simpson's Medium Crystal is equivalent to 40L or 60L and if the Roasted Barley is the same as any other one I buy. If anyone has the informatiom please let me know. I am looking for the Yield, Potential, Coarse Find Difference, Moisture, Diastatic Power, and Protein %. The grains are:

Thomas Fawcett Optic Malt
Canadian Pale Ale Malt
Simpsons Golden Naked Oats
Simpsons Medium Crystal
Simpsons Roasted Barley

Cheers!
 
What I do is go to each manufacturer and get product specs.  If nothing is close I add a new ingredient.

Yeah their sites are not too helpful in that respect and I am looking to add the new ingredients but want to make sure I get the right sepcs in there so I can calculate my efficiencies properly.
 
Most of these grains are included in a downloadable pack from BeerSmith. I would use Gambrinus for the Canadian Pale malt.
You can also get info on most of these from Brewer's Supply Group, who distributes malts.
I agree, most malting companies are not full of info on their website. A good LHBS should be happy to provide this info.
