Malt Color Calculator

Malt Color Calculator

There are currently two color scales in common use: SRM in the US, and EBC in Europe.

The SRM (Standard Research Method) scale is based on an older scale called degrees Lovibond, and for all practical purposes SRM and degree Lovibond are identical.

American brewers use Lovibond to describe malts, while SRM is used to describe the color of the finished beer.
