Hi all - I saw that there were a few other posts on the concept of going from all grain >>> extract but was hoping to understand that process a bit more so forgive me if I dive into the details here with this being my first post
I original submitted this post on BeerSmith's forums but sadly have not had a single reply in over a month
The content of the original post is geared towards using BeerSmiths convert feature so I'll try to summarize it here (but I'll include the link to the post as well)
http://www.beersmith.com/forum/index.php/topic,18524.0.html
Essentially I wish to convert a brooklyn brew shop recipe from all grain to extract (or is this considered partial mash if I'm steeping grains? I still get confused on that)
Grapefruit Honey Ale (allgrain) - original recipe modified from Brooklyn Brew shop to enter on Beer Smith
Extract version (after beersmith convert and tweaking recipe with the stuff I found at my local homebrew shop)
other stuff
So just want to check if I'm making the right call on some of the adjustments and if I need to adjust volumes/amounts further
*** 1) I reset the specialty malts back to their original weights and added victory malt back in - I think I'll steep all of these together in a bag?
2) for the base malt I bought 2 jugs of CBW golden light pure malt extract from Briess (each is 3.3 lbs) so x2 = 6.6 pounds -- but I think I will have to use less than the total amount correct? seeing as the original all grain recipe called for 6 pounds 12 oz of pale 2 row malt? (beersmith originally wanted me to use 4 lbs 14.6 oz of pale liquid extract which is more in line with the 75% formula I've seen)
3) for the wheat I bought a 1 lb bag of CBW Bavarian Wheat Dry Malt Extract from Briess -- can I just add that whole amount in or again I'll need to scale it back to match the 12 oz of torrified wheat previously called for? beer smith originally wanted me to use 7.3oz of a wheat liquid extract which is about 60% of the original grain called for
4) do I need to change the amounts of the Honey and Candi Sugar used? For candi sugar I bought a 1lb bag of simplicity premium blonde candi syrup as the guy said it was easier to use --- I noticed Beer Smith seems to think I'll need about 50% more of each of these ingredients (interesting to note though if I did the conversion as a partial extract the amounts of these ingredients stay basically the same)
