Beersmith & Minch Malts

[jonmuni]

guys,

does anyone have the Beersmith stats or some reference point I can use for Minch malts? ( see attached )

Trying to keep my numbers right!

thanks
Jon

Not sure about the hook head series but their regular pale ale malt has a similar yield and potential to Maris Otter
Potential =1.038
Yield = 82.60%
Diastatic Power=125

I think hook head has higher numbers... anyone know ?

James I've sent off a message to Alan in Minch, regarding all their products, I'll update his response, in the interim here's a link to a Diastatic power conversion tool, which will convert the DU figures from the Minch Website to Lintner units for BeerSmith

Hook head is a beast. Definitely higher extract potential than most pale ale malt

He said the specs are available online by selecting the product you're interested in and by then clicking on additional information.
To convert EBC extract 0.2mm dry basis percentage figure to the sg potential figure required by BeerSmith use the following formula
SG = 1 + {(EBC extract 0.2mm dry basis % /100) x 0.04621}
The 0.04621 is extract potential of sucrose against which all extract is measured. So in the case of Hook Head the quoted figure is 82%
Which translates into
1 + {(82/100) x 0.04621} = 1.03789

Is the Lintner = 194 based on quoted figure for "ALPHA AMYLASE DRY BASIS 35DU min" then? Or is the other factors need to be considered?
