The simplest base malt conversion is to just multiply the number of pounds of pale male by 0.75 to get the pounds of liquid extract. Therefore 8 pounds of pale malt becomes 6 pounds of liquid extract. An equivalent …

While you’re heating up the boil water, turn off the heat around 160-170°F and steep the specialty grains in a muslin bag for about half an hour. Then, simply pull the grain bag out, and return to heating the water for the boil. Just before the boil, stir in the extract and go about business as usual.

Converting Extract Recipes to All-Grain Recipes First, determine the amount of gravity expected from the malt extract in the recipe. That is the target gravity for the base malts of the all-grain recipe. Second, determine the amount of base malts needed to meet the target gravity, using the following formula.
1. First extra light extract is the best stuff to work with as an extract brewer. At its core the lightest extracts are typically just a single base malt, mashed in the 150-154 range, lightly boiled then turned into extract. For recipes where light extract was the base you can simply plug in your 2-row barley of choice as a base malt on a
In the original extract recipe (IPA) it calls to add the malt extract and corn sugar to my now boiling wort. Since I substituted and used all grain should I still add the cane sugar? The last IPA I brewed I didn't need to add any sugar …

The calculation for converting the two-row to pale extract looks like this: 9 lbs. grain x 0.75 efficiency x (36 points/lb./gal. extract) / (36 points/lb./gal. from grain) = 6.75 lbs. extract (domestic) Crystal malt can be steeped, so the amount remains the same in the converted recipe. Wheat malt can’t be steeped.
Converts between LME/DME and base grain weights while preserving the same gravity. If you have a recipe using LME or DME and would like to convert to a similar amount of base grains (or vice versa); choose your type of extract and your estimated brewhouse efficiency, then enter the quantity called for and click Update. Conversion Equation:
In other words, if an all-grain recipe calls for 10 lbs. of base malt, you would use 8 lbs. of liquid malt extract. If you are using dry malt extract (DME), the ratio falls to about 3.2:5, so if the recipe calls for 10 lbs. of base malt, you would substitute 6.4 lbs. of DME.
Sorted by: 8. Multiply your base malt weight by .75 do get the same (ish) amount in liquid extract. For example - 10lbs. Pilsner malt = 7.5lbs Pilsner Liquid Malt Extract. For a Dry Malt Extract multiply by .6. For example - 10lbs malt = 6lbs. Dry Malt Extract. Steep specialty grains as usual.
A: No, just follow the recipe as written.Here's an example:Bull's Eye Bitter (all grain)5 gallons; OG: 1.055Grains:-- 8.75 lbs. pale malt (British)-- 0.5 lb. 120L crystal maltHops:-- 8.9 HBU Target hops (90 min.)-- 0.5 oz. Czech Saaz (0 min.)Yeast:-- Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley yeastLet's convert this to extract using Munton's DME55 = 46 * W / 5W
In the case of most recipes a straight conversion is simple, swap out base malts for malt extract, steep the speciality grains and follow the extract brewing process as normal.
If you take a methodical approach, virtually any recipe can be converted from extract to all-grain and vice versa. The most important element to translate is the malt. You’ll need to know how many pounds of each type of malt (grains or extract) went into the recipe you want to convert.
9 x (36/27) = 12 lbs. of grain. So 12 pounds of two-row malt provide the same yield as nine pounds of light domestic extract. What if the extract recipe in your hand is made with proprietary blends of malt called “Amber,” “Dark,” or “Wheat”? How do you convert these to all-grain?
For extract recipes that steep specialty grain, the general rule is to use the same amount of grain called for in the extract recipe when converting to all-grain.
