Christmas beer extract to all grain conversion

I found this recipe at http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/, it's a Christmas Spice beer that uses extract. I would like to brew this as an all-grain recipe but I am not sure how to convert it. Any help would be appreciated.


CHRISTMAS SPICE '95

Recipe from Jim White, Down River Brewers Guild, Southgate, Michigan

Ingredients

6 lb Mahogany Coast English ale malt extract
3 lb amber dry malt extract
1 oz Cascade Hops, 4.6 alpha, in boil 45 min
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 lb clover honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pkg Danstar Nottingham dry yeast
1/2 oz Golding hops, 5.8% alpha, dry hopped
2/3 cup corn sugar for priming before bottling

Thanks...

Well, the amber conversion should be easy enough. Northen Brewer says their amber extract is a mix of pale malt and Crystal 60, up to about 10L. If you have brewing software, you can tinker with the mix until you get the right color.

As for that other extract, I've never heard of Mahogany Coast English, but I'm assuming Mahogany Coast is a brand name and it's just English malt extract. If that's the case, id just use Maris Otter.

It's too bad it doesn't say what kind of extract the English stuff is becase whether it's liquid or dry will affect the conversion. But the numbers are 1 pound grain = .75 pounds LME = .6 pounds DME. Cheers!

Thanks Jon,

Using your guidelines, this is the recipe I came up with. Let me know what you think.
