Estimating Color

/* Malt Color Units */ - minor typos corrected
The simplest equation for estimating the color of beer is to use Malt Color Units (MCU). A malt color unit is defined to be simply the color of each grain times the grain weight in pounds divided by the batch volume in gallons. If more than one grain is used, the MCU color is calculated for each addition and then added together. This malt color unit equation provides a good estimate of color in SRM for beers that are light in color (SRM color < 10.5).
::'''MCU = (color grain_color * grain_weight_lbs)/volume_gallons''' -- Good for beer colors < 10.5 SRM
