What is a typical percentage of husk to gross weight of malted barley (two-row, pale ale malt)? In other words, if I could remove the husk, what percent of the original weight of my malt would be left?

The husk represents approximately 5% of the total weight of the kernel. The ratio is slightly higher for six row and slightly lower for two row.
