malts to extract

[Ster]

Is this correct?
An AG recipe calls for 2lbs munich.
Beer smith estmated lme = ag x .75.
So 2 x .75 = 1.5lbs munich lme.
However Briess munich is 50% munich 50% base.
So I would really need 3lbs munich lme to equal the 2lbs of grains?

That just does not sound correct.

Half of my lme weight would be munich , even though it is only about 15% of the AG grain Bill.

If you kick Briess Munich LME up to 3 pounds, then you have substituted for 2 pounds of Munich grain AND 2 pounds of base malt (most likely 2-Row).
