I'm trying to convert a receipt from Midwest for "Hop Cult" into an all grain version. I've never tried this before and could use some help. I wouldn't want to screw up one of my favorite beers.

Here's what's on there wedsite.

Bow before the hop gods and tremble, ye mortals. A single whiff of the Hop Cult IPA is all it takes to lure hop heads into your flock. A bold hop bitterness, wicked malty body, and soft yeast aromatics offset the substantial late-hops; overstated whiffs of ripe fruit - from papaya and mango to lime zest and white grape - tantalize the senses and make for a concoction that can't be ignored.

Recipe Kit Contains:

1 lb Gold DME
1 lb Wheat DME
6 lb Gold LME
0.5 lb Belgian Aromatic Malt
1 oz. Warrior Hops @ 60
1 oz. Citra Hops @ 10
1 oz. Centennial Hops @ 10
3 oz. Citra Hops Dry hop
Yeast Option S04

OG 1.064
IBU's 60
Al % 6.3
FG 1.016

I would be grateful for any help.
 
Where is your flaked wheat? It looks like your gravity is a bit light compared to the extract kit. You may get a touch better hop utilization with all grain so it may be a touch hoppier. It will definitely have more hbitterness with the lower og you have listed.

I'd add 10-15% flaked wheat and see what that brings your og up to.
 
Thanks I added the wheat and I'm pretty close now. Going to play with the Maris otter a bit to get it closer.
