    Here's what we did (12 gallon batch):
    18 lbs - 2-row malt
    6.5 lbs rye malt
    1 lb Flaked Wheat
    3 lbs Munich malt
    1.25 lbs Cara-Pils malt
    1.25 lbs Wheat malt
    3.5 oz Black Patent
    3 lbs amber candi/invert sugar

    2.25 oz Columbus(12.2%) - 60 minutes
    3 oz Columbus(12.2%) - 40 minutes
    2 oz. Centennial(7%) - 30 minutes
    1 oz. Centennial(7%) - 10 minutes
    We'll be dry-hopping in the secondary with:
    1.5 oz Amarillo
    2 oz. Centennial


    OG - 1.086
    IBUs - 81.3
    SRM - 16
    8% ABV Estimated
    WL California V


    Can Someone help me convert this to a late addition extract with steeped specialty grain recipie. I was using Beer Alchemy and I could not seem to get it. 18lbs of 2 row came out to be 10.8 lbs of DME which right off the bat put me over the SG for the recip. With all the fermetables added it gave me an estimated ABV of 20%. On the hops front it gave me an IBU of 160 or something crazy. I am obviously doing something wrong. I want to make this beer so damn bad. Many thanks in advance. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
