Mmm..this looks good. What makes it 'Lithuanian' ? Have you converted this to AG yet?
 
Man... it's SO good. I had a couple bottles last night. STILL incredible, fresh and tasty. Picked up slight roast-y overtones, a little sweet, full-bodied and luscious...

(Is it a problem if I want to make out with my beer right now?)

It's Lithuanian because it's based a variety of porter called Baltic Porter, but I am 1/4 Lithuanian, so it's my favorite of the Baltic states.

I have never done AG, so I can't help ya with that conversion.

try replacing the dme and the lme with 11.25 lbs. of 2 row pale malt.

everything else the same.

That would be my guess.
