10# 2row = what kind and how much extract?

Trying to make something like a Taddy porter with extract. Recipes I've found call for 10# Two row. What type and how much extract would be able to fill in?

Heres the recipe:

10.00 lb 2-Row -(6LBS DME, pale?)

1.00 lb Crystal 40°L
0.75 lb Chocolate Malt
0.25 lb Black Patent

4 oz molasses or black trecale -too much? and when to add?

1.5 oz Kent Goldings @ 60 minutes
0.5 oz Fuggles @ 20 minutes
0.5 oz Kent Goldings @ 5 minutes

Notty or White labs IrishAle, maybe burton?

I get 7.09 LME which is 5.67 DME ????

One thing to look into is if you do partial boils you need to increase the hops.

10 lbs of grain = 6 lbs of DME.

The chocolate and black p will take care of the color for you.

Grinder's math looks pretty good. IIRC, the rule of thumb is 1 lb grain ~= 0.8 lb LME ~= 0.6 lb DME

I would suggest using light or extra light. I only realized this too late, but there's no good reason to use the darker extracts because you get plenty of color from the specialty grains.

Would a late extract additon mean better hop utilization? Also have you any luck using trecale or molassy? If so how much and when did you add, was it potent in taste?
