IanH Spreedsheet: What compares to buscuit malt?

[HenrikF]

As the title says, wich special malt do I select in the spreedsheet to get the closest comparison to biscuit malt?

Hi Henrik

 

Have a look at this site.

 

It has a list of malts in order of their colour, and says whether you can mash or steep it. Pick the grain with the closest colour that you can get your hands on (and that you can steep).

Enter your Biscuit Malt and it's variables into the spreadsheet then pick that. Can't go wrong then.

Hey Henrik

Expanding on what Bill said - you can enter your own ingredients into the background pages - like additional hops that aren't there, or yeasts etc.

On the grain tab, add in Biscuit Malt, with the EBC and ferment ability (if you know it, otherwise take a guess). Maybe similar to Toasted Malt shown in the list.

Ahh.. did not know that! Thanks, will do[biggrin]

Yeah sorry, maybe I should have elaborated further [pouty]

 

If working with Ianh's spreadsheet, you need to ensure the hop AA% is correct as well. Otherwise obviously you are going to get incorrect IBU's calculated. It also beats having to change the AA% on the main page all the time then [joyful]

 

Have a good look about the spreadsheet, there are a few little things you can do to "customise" it [rightful]
