If in BeerSmith I set the oats to 1 SRM then I get 27.4 SRM which I guess is your 28. If I change BeerSmith to use EBC then I get 53.9.Vossy1 wrote:At the front of the book it says to convert the SRM to EBC multiply the SRM by 2.65 and then subtract 1.2 from the total.
I get around 28 on Beer Smith which would be 73
This still doesn't explain why Beer Smith differs
Perhaps the book uses an older scaling factor that has for some reason been changed.BeerSmith wrote:BeerSmith uses the new formula for converting colors:
EBC = 1.97 SRM
Not sure this gets me far but it's not that important really - just interestingBeerSmith wrote:BeerSmith uses the equation by Dan A. Morey to estimate beer color, which is a power equation fit to earlier more limited beer color estimating equations. It holds for beer colors with SRM < 50.
The equation is:
SRM color = 1.4922 * (MCU ** 0.6859)
where
MCU = (SRM_color * Grain_weight_lbs)/Volume_gallons
