It would be very helpful to have in the tools section a way to determine the amount of DME / LME to add if you missed your pre-boil or post-boil gravity.
For convenience, here's the info:
○ Missed Pre-Boil Gravity
§ Extract needed in lbs = (Total gravity(target) - Total gravity(from mash))/45 for DME, or 38 for Liquid extract
□ Total gravity is the volume of wort X gravity units of wort.
® Ie. 1.042 specific gravity = 42 gravity units
□ Example
® Total gravity(target) = 6gal (pre boil volume) x 64 (target pre boil gravity units) = 384
® Total gravity (from mash) = 6 (pre boil volume) x 42 (actual pre boil gravity units) = 252
® SO your equations with number is
® (384 -252)/45 = 2.93 lbs of DME
