2022年11月15日 · Malt Color Units (MCU) is an easy way for brewers to calculate the approximate color expected in a given recipe with multiple grains and adjuncts. This is especially useful for recipes that you are making for the first time. The MCU value provides a fair color estimate for beers that are very pale in color or less than 10.5 SRM.

The Standard Reference Method (SRM) is a color grading system used extensively by brewers to predict the color of the final malt. This method uses the SRM color value, multiplied by 12.7 times the log of the reduction in amplitude experienced by the light of a wavelength of 430 nanometers in passing through a cuvette of 1cm.

The SRM was adopted in 1950 by the American Society of Brewing Chemists which had recognized the need for an instrument based measurement of color unburdened by the difficulties of the Lovibond system which relies (it is still in use in many industries including brewing – malts are often labeled with the Lovibond color of laboratory worts ...

Quickly convert SRM (Standard Reference Method), Degrees Lovibond and EBC (European Beer Color) beer colors.

2008年4月29日 · MCU provides a good estimate of SRM color for light beers, but starts to diverge as beer color exceeds 6-8 SRM, because light absorbance is logarithmic and not linear. For a more accurate estimate that holds for darker beers up …

2019年12月18日 · Color (°SRM, °L): The color of any malt varies from lot to lot, and the color range of a malt type varies widely from maltster to maltster. From the maltster's point of view, it is of some advantage to have a unique color range because it makes switching malts and malt suppliers more difficult; a brewer contemplating switching suppliers would ...

The color of your beer is determined by the grains and extracts that you use. The term Lovibond is typically used to describe malts, while SRM typically describes beer. Lovibond is used to predict the final color of your beer. Check out our SRM sticker for test jars as well as our lanyard with bottle opener and SRM chart.

Calculates beer color in SRM. Tells how light or dark your home brew will be based on the amount and types of ingredients. Uses Morey's Formula.

Beer Color Standard Reference Method (SRM) Calculator estimates how light or dark your beer will be based on known grain color values assigned to grains, extracts and adjuncts.

Typical procedure is to select a Malt/Adjunct, insert in a row, adjust the Percent Yield and Lovibond Color as needed, then enter the Weight. This will calculate the Extract Potential, the Original Density contribution, and the SRM Color contribution.
