Softpacks

Post by pocketjr »

Damnit, in the few months that I haven't rewed, I seem to have forgotten some basics.
Somebody please refresh my memory on the soft pack equivalents?

Pale=?
Smooth=?
Golden=?
Robust=?

I have to hit the LHBS today and they don't carry the soft packs, so I need to pick up the DME instead

Thanks for posting this, I remember reading the comparisons somewhere but couldn't remember what they were.

Soft packs are 250grams…. does that also work out to 250grams of DME?
