Yeah, you can just convert the base malt to extract. You multiply the number of pounds of base malt by .6 to get the DME equivalent and .8 to get the LME equivalent. You might have to do some additional calculation for color, but it should be close enough. http://www.beersmith.com/blog/2008/06/03/converting-all-grain-recipes-to-malt-extract/ [...] [...] Originally Posted by Kjay I have found one that I believe is out of that magazine, but it is an all grain is there any way to convert this to an extract?

I tweak and build recipes all the time, sometimes from scratch. The recipe conversion tools are somewhat crippled by a very shallow ingredients database. I'll give an example of where I couldn't use BeerSmith: I received a gift of a partial Mash extract recipe from the local homebrew shop. Their recipes call for 1.5 gallon boils with more water added later. I always do full boils. The fact that BeerSmith can (usually) convert this for me is awesome. The first problem I hit is, there's nothing in the Extract database for "Munich Malt". Well, I can -make up- SRM, potential SG, but this is a let down. NB, B3, and the local homebrew shop all sell this type of extract, but BeerSmith only has entries for grain users. A pity, since it would probably be trivial to flesh out the database in an online update. Beersmith’s calculations are awesome. I tweak and build recipes all the time, sometimes from scratch.
