Can anyone help with extract to all grain conversion?

[dibrewzza]

I've got a recipe that turned out PHENOMENAL and called for

6.6 pounds light LME
1 pound light DME

I'm not too concerned for the color I guess, just want the taste to be close and I can't quite understand this conversion stuff.

can anyone help convert this to grain weight and what grains I might use?

I appreciate it

One pound of grain( 2-row ) is equal to .6 lb of dme

I started a thread, DME conversion to AG

Thank you both, I appreciate it.

You might try Beersmith. Great for stuff like this. At about 20 bux, well worth it.

One piece of advice that I will give the OP is that he should learn how to quote extraction rates in points-per-pound-per-gallon instead of using percentage calculations that are based on a table of theoretical maximum extraction values. Percentage values require one to know the table of maximum theoretical values that were used in the calculation. There is no such thing as a common set of theoretical maximums, which is why experienced brewers use points-per-pound-per-gallon (or points-per-kilogram-per-liter) when providing brew house extraction rate data.
