Extract produced is found by accurately determining the volume and the “gravity” of the wort collected in the starting tub, Potential extract is the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the weights of malt and adjuncts by their respective laboratory “as is” yields (fine grind yield for malt).

Example: How many bbls of beer of 3.8% and 3.2% by weight of alcohol, respectively, must be blended in order to obtain 650 bbls of beer of 3.6% alcohol? Let X = number of bbls of 3.8% beer. Then (650 – X ) = number of bbls of 3.2% beer. Substituting in formula: X x 3.8 + (650 - X ) x 3.2 = 650 x 3.6 0.6 X = 260 X = 433 Answer: Mix 433 bbls of 3.8% beer with 217 bbls of 3.2% beer.
