Since the husk is removed what is the conversion since there will be some weight loss?
Brian Martin on Jun 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: The husks of the grain really don't weigh that much overall and they're not contributing any amount of fermentables or proteins. It's not that important to consider them when converting recipes to this new type of grain.

New go to!
Great stuff! Just try it and you won’t look back
Made the cleanest Pilsner using only 8lb of Maltgems instead of the usual 11 lbs of Pilsner malt.

Makes good beer, but milled too fine for my system
I bought 2 50# bags of this when it first came out, before I realized it was pre milled, I always mill my own. But managed to make it work with by modifying mash tun false bottom with screen. I recently bought another 20#s since I like the lagers I made with it before, but this time it was milled even finer and it clogged my rig, making for PITA brew day.

Might be a good choice for BIAB brewers though, the flavor is very good.

Very convenient way to increase grains for BIAB brewing
Have used these Pilsen Maltgems twice and have been very happy with the ease of use (no milling required) and increase in amount of grains that can be used with BIAB for a 5 gallon batch.
