Typical PPG Chart
0 comments
What is PPG? PPG stands for Points per Pound per Gallon. This is a unit of measure to approximate the number of gravity points of fermentable sugar a malt or grain can produce.
It comes in very handy when creating a recipe when you know what Starting Gravity you want to target. For a better understanding of how to use PPG check out this article "What is PPG"
It is also handy when deciding how you might want to alter an existing recipe to reach a certain SG.
