Hi guys
When calculating your efficiency, which malts i should take into consideration for the total grain weight?
Obviously i should take into consideration the malts that provide the fermentables and leave out of the equation then ones that only provide colour and taste.
Is there a list of those?

Re: Malts in efficiency calculations
Not quite like that, depends how and what you mash.
Many roasted and unmalted grains have the potential for extractable sugars, but no diastatic power to do the conversion. However, provided they are mashed with malts with surplus enzymes, typically pale malt, you can get fermentables.
