Hey all. I brewed this recipe from Sam Calagione's book Extreme Homebrewing. It came out awesome but for cost effectiveness and the fact that I enjoy all grain much more, I want to convert this recipe to an all grain one. Here's the recipe...


Extract Recipe

Beer Style: Hefeweizen with blood orange flavoring
Batch Size: 5 gallons
Original Gravity: 1.050
Final Gravity: 1.012
Bitterness: 17 IBU
Boiling Time: 65 minutes
Color: 12 SRM
Alcohol: 4.8% ABV

Ingredients
6.6 lbs. Light Liquid Wheat Malt Extract
4 medium size blood oranges
0.5 oz. Hallertau Hop Pellets (4.5% AA) boiled 60 minutes
1 oz. Saaz Hop Pellet (4.3% AA) boiled 20 minutes
0.5 oz. Hallertau Hop Pellets (4.5% AA) boiled 10 minutes
Wyeast 3068 or 3638 or White Labs WLP 300 or 380

I mainly need to know what grains to use in place of the malt extract. Fire away everyone. Let me know what you all think is best.

Note: When I brewed this, it was my first homebrew and I went for it, cam out great. Also, I used regular mineola oranges instead of blood oranges as they were out of season. Looking to do this converted recipe again once they are back in season. Thanks!
