I hate to post my ignorance, but I've checked DeClerck and others and cannot find what LDK means with reference to malt extractability. Could someone educate an ASBC-kinda-guy with a definition, conversion formulas to simple cg-db %, and a reason why UK maltsters use this figure? Thanks in advance!!

Great! Right! Starting to make sense. So, apparently the "degrees" correspond to specific gravity? Something like 1.0465 specific gravity would be equal to 46.5 degrees in this method? I've read that I divide the LDK by 386 to get ASBC FGDB? So a malt with LDK=305 would be 79% FGDB. Sounds about right, eh?Phillip Kelm--Palau Brewing Company Manager--
