Hallo Everyone,

I have a recipe for a bitter which calls for 190 grams of white sugar. If I was to substitute this by adding extra pale malt, does anyone know how much would be equivalent to 190 grams of white sugar, please? Is there a website where could I find such information?
 
If I understand correctly what Dunfie told me about LDK values, pale malt's about 300 and sugar is 360, so if you multiply your 190g by 6/5 that gives 228g.

Can anyone confirm?
 
But don't forget to take mash efficiency into account as well ;)

Sugar yields all it's extract as it's added to the boiler . . . pale malt does not :thumb:

Ah yes, of course, so at 75% efficiency you would have to multiply that 228g by 100/75 (or 4/3) so that now becomes 304g.
