• For dry malt extract: add s: Dry light malt extract, [*** base percent ***], 3.5, 96
• Set the mash efficiency variable to 55% for steeping.

Codes and format:

• og: Original gravity in specific gravity (1.0XX) or degrees plato (°P)
• m: Malt name, fermentable %, Lovibond, and yield (SG or percent) with comma separations
• s: Sugar or extract name, fermentable %, Lovibond, and yield (SG or percent) with comma separations.

Select the preferred unit of measurement for the inputs and outputs. Metric uses liters, grams, and kilograms. US uses gallons, ounces, and pounds. US Barrels (31 gallons = 1 barrel) is in barrels, pounds, and ounces.

Enter the anticipated mash efficiency percentage. If this is not known, try the following values based on the sparge method: Steeping (50%), No-sparge or brew-in-a-bag (65 to 75%), Batch sparge (80%), or Continuous (fly) sparge (85 to 90%).
