European Brewery Convention
Beer colourexact by definition
The European Brewery Convention colour unit is exactly 1/1.97 of an SRM unit, measuring the same 430 nm absorbance with a different multiplier. Continental and British recipes are written in EBC, and a pale lager sits near 4–8 EBC.
Watch out: EBC numbers are roughly double the SRM figure for the same beer, so a recipe quoting "12" means a pale amber if it is SRM and a straw pilsner if it is EBC. The scale is almost never stated on a recipe that assumes its own audience.
