What to Expect When You Are Extracting Beer and Loafing NHC 2004 Las Vegas, NV What is Extraction? Simply: The amount of wort you get from the grain you mash and lauter, expressed as a number of some sort. ex. 29 Points/pound/gallon More completely: The amount of soluble extract (wort), that is extracted from the mash and lauter, usually expressed as a percentage of the total soluble extract that was obtained from a laboratory mash. i.e. “extraction efficiency” Congress Mash Named for the standardized process instituted by the European Brewing Congress (EBC) in 1975. A standard weight of finely ground malt is multi-infusion mashed over a period of nearly 2 hours. The mash is filtered thru a paper filter for a period of 1 hour and the specific gravity is measured. The % Extract, Fine Grind, As-Is is calculated from the ASBC Table for Extract Determination in Malt. Extract: Fine Grind The Congress mash uses finely ground malt to determine the % Extract, Fine Grind, As-Is The fine grind allows the enzymes more access to the starches to assure full conversion. The % moisture is calculated by drying a portion of the malt in a forced air oven at 103-104°C for 3 hours, and the % Extract Dry-Basis is determined. % Extract, Fine Grind, Dry-Basis is the standard value for comparing all malts. Extract: Coarse Grind % Extract Coarse Grind is just what it says - a coarser grind than Fine Grind, but one that is probably finer than most homebrewers use. Coarse Grind is more representative of a typical mash and sparge could achieve. % Extract, CG, As-Is/Dry-Basis are usually only measured for primary malts, not for specialty malts. Fine/Coarse Difference F/C Difference is the percentage difference between the % Extract for Fine and Coarse Grinds. (As-Is or Dry Basis – same difference) If the F/C difference is small (1%) then the malt is highly modified, i.e., the starches are readily convertible in the coarse ground state. A less modified malt would have a larger F/C. Soluble/Tot
