Hi, I'm at work and my brewing software is on my 'puter at home.

Would someone who has a built in All Grain - Extract or partial mash converter run this recipe for me? I know I could do it with paper and pen but quite frankly I'm a little muddy this morning (Or maybe it was the Young's Double Choc Stouts I consumed last night.:drunk: )

I don't want to wait til I get home to run it myself, I want to stop at my LHBS and pick up anything I might need, although I have a feeling that this is going to close to the stuff I picked up last night for a basic amber ale recipe I already have.

Thanks for your help!

Here's the recipe I found here this morning that sounds good.

Also does anyone know of any online convertors and software that you don't need to download, but can just type your info in? I really don't want to dl any software on my work computer, but occasionally I do like to fiddle with recipes while at work.

Thanks again.
 
You can replace the pale malt with 6.5# of light LME. That raises the gravity a couple points higher than the posted recipe, but close enough.

Can you do a partial mash? That's how I would handle the Munich. If you can't do it, you can substitute it with another half pound of LME. That will bring you in a point or two under the posted recipe, and it's not the same as Munich, but again, it may be close enough for you. You can probably get away with just steeping that pound of Munich, though, but it still won't be the same.
