Step 1: How many grain ingredients are there?

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Try again. Hint: Use the gram conversion table to identify which ingredients count as grain.

Step 2: How many cups for each ingredient?

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Try again. Hint: There are 4-cups in 1-quart.

Step 3: Convert each ingredient to grams.

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Try again. Hint: Each ingredient should be multiplied by a different amount.

Step 4: Add up all of the grams.

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Try again.

Step 5: Divide by the total portions.

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Try again. Hint: It is called yield in the recipe.
