but some common figures are 70% for corn, and 50% for malted barley and wheat

Buying from beer supply place this info should be readily available. But from a stockfeed place i doubt they would know any of this info.

Taken from stack exchange
"PPG & Potential
Sugars like malt extracts have a "points per pound per gallon" (ppg) rating. PPG is calculated by combining one pound of extract and enough pure water to make one gallon. The extract's rating is then the specific gravity of this solution. Usually, the supplier of a malt extract will list its ppg.
For example, suppose you have a pound of honey and you want to calculate its ppg. Mix the honey and enough water to make a one gallon solution. A hydrometer reading a SG of 1.026 means the honey's ppg is 26.†† Sometimes, this is written as a "potential" of 1.026.
Note you can not add a pound of honey to a gallon of water. The honey takes up volume by itself. The total solution must be one gallon for a correct measurement of potential."
